This is my prayer for you:

That you never know a moment's pain
Or loss, or grief, or fear
That you realize what you've got to gain
And never shed a tear

That your heart be free and soul so pure
It pours upon your feet
And into those who need it most
To all those who you meet

That we never feel remorse or guilt
O'er lost and broken dreams
That we cherish this empire you built
And quilted at the seams
