Verse 1:
In the shadow of the flame, I stand alone,
A scholar of the words, in ancient tones.
Pages worn and tear-stained, wisdom deep,
Yet in my heart, these lessons seek to creep.
Chorus:
Sarenrae, guide my way through the dark,
Kindle in my soul, a compassionate spark.
Forgive me when I falter, let kindness be my aim,
As I walk this path of light, in your holy name.
Verse 2:
In every whisper of the wind, I hear your call,
But in my heart, I struggle, wrestling with it all.
Empathy's a fire, too often left untamed,
Help me to embrace it, not just speak your name.
Chorus:
Sarenrae, guide my way through the dark,
Kindle in my soul, a compassionate spark.
Forgive me when I falter, let kindness be my aim,
As I walk this path of light, in your holy name.
Bridge:
Oh, the texts speak of mercy, oh, the tome of grace,
Yet in my pursuit, I sometimes lose my place.
Teaching me to rise, when my spirits fall,
To spread your warmth and love, the answer to it all.
Verse 3:
In the fire's embrace, I seek to be reborn,
A vessel of your healing, no longer torn.
Let the light within me shine, bright as the sun,
Transform this heart of stone, let the loving journey run.
Chorus:
Sarenrae, guide my way through the dark,
Kindle in my soul, a compassionate spark.
Forgive me when I falter, let kindness be my aim,
As I walk this path of light, in your holy name.
Outro:
So here I stand, a scholar and a flame,
In the name of Sarenrae, I'll forever claim,
With every step I take, I strive to be free,
A beacon of your mercy, shining bright for all to see.
