HEre is a wonderful song by Loreena McKennitt that I truly love to listen these days. It's quite a different musical genre - it's actually soothing and very heart-warming. This is made as a prayer to the Almighty, but i think it's also for friends and family. Friends because they are the ones who make my lives happier and better, and family because they continue to make my life extraordinary through the values and life lessons that I learn through them. This I also dedicate to a few people who has gone beyond to shore - my grandparents who I never really truly know because of early deaths, family friends, and maybe, those missed opportunities that I have so recklessly ignored.
Here is the lyrics:
DANTE' PRAYER
When the dark wood fell before me
And all the paths were overgrownW
hen 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 the 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 Please remember me
Please remember me.
