First Light, Last Light
By Chawna Schroeder

The One creates
New life breathes in
Eyes open wide
And see the first light

From the first light
          He holds our hand
To the last light
          He shuts our eyes to sleep

The One nurtures
Children blossom
Hands growing skilled
Faces to the light

From the first light
          He holds our hand
To the last light
          He shuts our eyes to sleep

The One strengthens
Life pledged to life
A house is built
Beneath the warm light

From the first light
          He holds our hand
To the last light
          He shuts our eyes to sleep

The rains fall, tears of pain
          Broken hearts
          Poisoned minds
          Beetle stings
          Rizzid menace
Enemies without and within

The rains fall, tears of joy
          Mending One
          Cleansing One
          Healing One
          Protecting One
Majesty, power are all His

The One gives rest
Deep sighs breathe out
Eyes sliding shut
At the last of light

From the last light
          He holds our hand
To the first light
          He opens eyes again

That is just beautiful, Chawna! It seems to really be the sort of song that they would sing as part of their legacy in the clans! Well done!
