This I love

  When the dark wood fell before me
  And all the paths were overgrown
  When the priests of pride say
   there is no other way
   I tilled the sorrows of stone

   I did not believe because I could not see
   Though you came to me in the night
   When the dawn seemed forever lost
   You showed me your love in
   the light of the stars

   Cast your eyes on the ocean
   Cast your soul to the sea
   When the dark night seems endless
   Please remember me


  Then the mountain rose before me
  By the deep well of desire
  From the fountain of forgiveness
  Beyond the ice and fire

Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
 To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me

  Dante's Prayer
