Light the World
Language: English 
May the Mother in us comfort us 
And the Father in us protect us; 
May the Daughter in us bring us Hope 
And the Son within us increase our Joy. 

May the Dancer in us move us 
And the Poet inspire our Song. 
May the Explorer embolden us 
And the Artist honor the Beauty that holds us. 

May we all be Creators and Priests and Nurses and Heroes, 
And may our Song lift beyond these walls 
To light the world.
