Let us hold hands as we let go As we let go, as we let go Of whom you once were Of whom I once was They are no longer here Let us push our skiff of memories Across the water to a safer shore We will find it later Where the Light shines Where songs drift on the air Let us step into a seaworthy craft To ply through storms of care Ride the peaks and troughs Endure the rains of doubt Set anchor in the harbor of Hope Let us be there And write a new song For what has been lost And what gained therefrom I can do the words, you can hum a tune
