We shimmer and twinkle
With the distant flames
We grow dimmer
Tragically
While we laugh
And commically
While we cry
In harmony
You have seen our spirits
As we walked on earth
On the roads where you survive
To love
Where rain falls on the grass
Where animals lie down
When it is time to pass
Where hands have worked
Where the soil gives life
When danger lurks
Regardless
Of joy, of fear, or hurt
Where there is motion
Whether it is small or big
Where there is action
Whether you wake or sleep
Where lands are dirt
That you sow or reap
Regardless
Of will, of tears, or mirth
To love the other and the road
When you are pushing forward all alone
Straying further from home
Go
Carry your torch proudly
Rightly step on the shoulders of giants
Of friends, lovers, or parents
As you pass the road's shadows
Be adamant and ardent
For the road has an end that never ends
You have been sent to tend
To what people chose to defend
Child
Build the road with sweat, tears, and flesh
And you shall ascend pass the threshold
To us
Where we shimmer and twinkle
With the distant flames
Where we grow bright into the night
And we laugh and cry
In harmony
You have seen our spirits as we walked on earth
On the roads where you survive to love
Ascend to us
Ascend to the stars above
