helped a woman loose her tears
guided another to release his fears
God's blood flowed freely through his veins
amazing gifts through his sacred rains

sowed it all, then sowed it again
spirals and ripples, love planted deep
surrendered his right to the greatest gift of all
chose to be true to suffering and sleep

wanted only to serve his siblings this day
sacrificed his birthright, walked in their shoes
love and light pulsed in the heart of a friend
new shoots of light, planted once again

ultimate sacrifice, teacher of the world
crying our tears, embracing our chatter
one thing's for sure, i'm reminded again
hope of all children, born of all matter
