Lyrics
Wellspring
When ruthless winds suggest the bitter,
renew my courage and consider
More than brace against the gale,
somehow I could tip the scale.
Come on, let’s sing for more than ourselves.
Sing a wisdom from our shelves
Which need our voices to incite
a justice not defined by might.
Chorus:
The wellspring of all we are… when we are open
Wider than banyans, deeper than oceans.
Making amends for mistakes and regrets
To join in forgiveness of all love forgets.
I’ll be content to play my part,
pass the torch from hand to heart
Chorus
The Well-spring of all we are when we are open
wider than canyons deeper than oceans
I’ll be content to play my part,
pass the torch from hand to heart. Chorus
