Here we stand together, Dressed in our pain, Covered with scars From wounds we did not ask for Or deserve. So what now? We can't go back and relive our lives. We can't take back the innocence we lost Or make the sadness we felt into happiness. But we can go on from here, So let us start. Stretch out your hand to mine, Close your eyes And slowly let the pain slip away. Let go of the sadness; It belongs to yesterday, And let's walk. The earth is firm beneath our feet. The sun is warm on our face. Heavenly Father sees our struggle, Smiles at our effort, And sends us strength. My friends, we can't stay, looking back, Lest we falter. We must face forward, Eyes wide open, And keep on walking. Hold tight and don't let go; You aren't walking alone, And neither am I.                                                                 ...

Often your tasks will be many, And more than you think you can do. Often the road will be rugged And the hills insurmountable, too. But always remember, The hills ahead Are never as steep as they seem, And with Faith in your heart Start upward And climb 'til you reach your dream. For nothing in life that is worthy Is ever too hard to achieve If you have the courage to try it, And you have the faith to believe. For faith is a force that is greater Than knowledge or power or skill, And many defeats turn to triumph If you trust in God's wisdom and will. For faith is a mover of mountains, There's nothing that God cannot do, So, start out today with faith in your heart, And climb 'til your dream comes true!                                                                                  ...
