Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
- Helen Keller


Do not fear the light beyond
Fear is darkness, light is strong
Our great souls to him belong
Do not fear the light beyond

Those who follow, will not stray
He will show them the guiding way
Low the darkness in shining ray
They will halt but cannot stay

Into hollow depths they fall
Those who await to hear the call
They fall prey to savage maul
And sinner’s ground on which they crawl

Lost are none in lifeless haze
Across the winding ancient maze
To fall to knees as they gaze
Their thoughts and dreams of which are razed

Do not fear the light beyond
Fear is darkness, light is strong
Our great souls to him long
Do not fear the light beyond
