Rising ever so slowly
Protective barriers guard this treasure
Under watchful eye
Let it burn, let it take flight

Undeniable in its ascent
Attacked at every opportunity
But he simply doesn't stand a chance
The tiniest spark gingerly developing
This is what sacred is
This slightest ember of belief is sacred beyond measure
The spark is fanned till it rises into a flame
Belief merging with trust
Where all that's out of reach is closer than you think
This is where all you long to be is within your grasp
Rising and rising, growing and growing
Till it dances with mine, entwining into one
Lifting us upward into faith's embrace
Where we leap into this three-cord flame
And truly love ablaze.
