Somewhere something is calling for each

Duty against soul's family

Trust your heart

Let your soul decide

And guide the new lives we see

-

In the Weyr all sounds cease

Waiting, blessed with love

A new life's order here

And the skies above

-

Softly tread the sand below your feet now

Look for one to call family

Trust your hearts,

Let fate decide,

And guide the new lives we see

-

Beneath the shelter of mother's wing

Only love can find the bond

Quietly let your heart sing

Of love, an unwavering pond

-

Raise your head up and cast them off,

The jealous, sneering load

For today, your worth you have showed

Take strength knowing someone needs you

And find the one there whose love is true

-

Triumph and sorrow ever linger here;

Though no words describe a mother's parting tear

And no herbs can heal kin torn apart

Now does each life truly start

-

Put your faith in what you most believe in

A soul torn between two families

Does now decide

To open arms wide

And find what destiny sees…
