Arise With My Light

Arise
with my light.
I am calling you
from beyond the black sea.
Open your eyes
and fly to me.

Ascend
from the holy land
and the burning sand.
Release your soul,
and fly to me.

Believe
in what you see.
I am within sight,
here, beyond every silent night.
Free your wings
and fly to me.
