1. Longing
Longing for Freedom, calling Truth
hollow Source of Life, ooh—
Rising heart, Mercy Light
gentle breath, with flame, ooh—
(Ah— Dreaming… Searching… Longing)
2. Pilgrimage
[Composer’s Note:
Every life begins with a longing for joy and fulfillment;
yet along the journey, that longing is often fractured—
caught between ascent and loss, light and shadow.
Even after climbing to the peak of the secular world,
one still feels hollow in the heart,
bounded by the measures of the outer world
and the unrest of the inner self.
Love without justice becomes an abused mercy;
justice without love turns into a cold chain.
Only where the two meet
does judgment find its true axis.
Thus begins the ascent—
step by step,
toward the stairway that leads to freedom.]
3. First Light
Ah— All as one (Equality, Respect, Empathy)
Equal souls (Kindness, Patience)
Grace abides (Grace, Sacrifice)
Faith and Hope (Love, Faith)
Pray for dawn (Hope, Prayer)
Judge with right (Redemption, Justice)
Free in Light (Wisdom, Freedom, Light)
4. Offering
All I give
All I am
All I seek
All I find
All in Light
All in Love
All my soul
All is free
5. Dawn
[Composer’s Note:
The water of Life flows within,
filling the void of the beginning.]
