step 5 - there's something in the air

There’s something in the air

There’s something I must do

There’s something to remember

Something I always knew.

And yet I know from deep within

Each candle that I light

Will burn on bright and then may fade

And be enveloped by the night.

So what does God then want of me

To search and save lost souls

Or to find my way and be the light

To others with such goals.

I’m on the threshold now it seems

The path ahead divides

No revelation awaits the one

Who from the truth so hides.

The truth then isn’t to save another

But to myself be true

To learn and grow and think and feel

Thus learning what to do.

First one’s task is to find themselves

To know who and what they are

And then to shine not hide their light

But shine bright like any star.

Those who need will find you

Those who for truth do thirst

Those who need to know themselves

Both best and the very worst.

So be calm and the time will come

When all will be so clear

And you will come to know your path

And God’s wish for you my dear.
