You are praised, Eternal One,
For blessing the singer and the song
For inspiring storyteller and dreamer
For enabling poets and songwriters to find their voices
For residing in hands that form notes and chords and clap in rhythm
For enlightening thinkers and students of any age as they discover new wisdom
For lifting the spirits of travelers on difficult journeys
For transforming new surroundings into familiar territory, and strangers into beloved neighbors
For turning hearts of children to parents and parents to children.
For bridging divides to bring peace ever closer
For reminding us that anyone’s heart can be a wellspring of love.
You are praised, Eternal One,
Who consistently fashions darkness into a new day
So that we will do the same.
