1986 celebration by Joe Henry

celebration

The vision is an open flame

Consuming darkness yet again

To burn your candle in the sun

To walk until you've learned to run

To recognize what must be done

So celebrate the journey home

The door, the feather and the stone

With reaching hands and open eyes

The Quest becomes the reason why

The pilgrim's thirst is satisfied

If wishes were eagles

And sparrows and doves

If wishes were warm lips

that whispered of love

If wishes were promises 

Made on a star

Would we leave our wishing

To be what we are
