sing, even when you have no voice
dance, even when you have no strength
stand, even when you are too tired
endure, even when you don't know the length
fight, even when you know you'll lose
cry, even when you know they'll see
love, even when you know it will hurt
live, even when you can't be free
hope, even when it seems pointless
give, even when you have given all
take, even when you can't carry more
dream, even when you hear death's call
be now, be forever, be forever and ever
rage and burn and nourish like the sun
radiate light that banishes all shadows
with you at the center, a new universe is begun
