And guide us to the path between the future we crave and the past we fear, that our lips may understand from whence we cometh and to where we wish to go.
That our hands may rewrite the name we wish to bear and be able to build our ears for the mistakes that’ll follow.
Teach us oh Lord, to know when to sit with kings and when to bow at their feet, when to say the word and when to feed our stomach with silence.
Protect our steps from the places our eyes fail us and lastly, that we get the strength to be one with you in the end.
