as the wise ones and teachers
pass on the torch
it’s up to us
to remember what it’s all for


as we start to accept
the legacy we’re left
we realize whats left behind
is an eternal candle
that burns with a power undefined


how much does it take
to do what is right
how deep is that well
that feeds the water of life


for every passing teacher
it becomes more clear
it’s up to us
to try to change
darkness to light
while we are here


for some say yes
and some run and hide
but there’s a secret password
of truth we find inside


it’s been passed down through ages
and it’s so hard to define
but it shines so bright
it opens the way to our soul
and a higher state of mind


so here’s to the ones
who carry the torch
here’s to the silent servants
who dedicate their life to the lord


there’s more at stake
than you may know
May you always be able
connect with your soul


May you be blessed
May you be inspired
May you always remember
to shine forth your light
to lead others out of darkness
to find their purpose
and help to bring love to this life
