Don't give up, don't give in
Hope shines light on everything
Hold on tight, don't let go
I am here, and you are not alone

Don't give up, don't give in
We need everything you bring
All the wisdom, all the fires
You started in the lives that you inspired
I bring water, drink and rest
Lie down now, I'll caress

Trust me in this moment, close your eyes and come with me
Drift into the deepest sleep and dream the sweetest dreams
Wanna wake you into hopefulness, raise you into peace
Bless you with a kindness, that will lead to your release

Sun, moon, stars invite you to their silver, gold displays
Raise your eyes and watch them every night and every day
Rest assured by the certainty that joy will soon return
You will laugh and skip and sing and shout and paint and dance again

You see desert, endless sand
Parched and empty, thirsty land
But just the slightest, finest rain
And life bursts forth, renewed again

See yourself as others do
All that makes you truly you'
All that makes you laugh or cry
Full of questions - when, how, why?

Helpful answers I have few
But I will ask your questions too
Search for meaning out of grief
Chase away the childhood thief
Faithful friend, loyal, true
Hardened hearts can soften too

Broken lives, overwhelmed
Those when loved can truly mend
Don't close down, don't close in
After winter comes the spring, comes the spring
