                                             The Inner Light


                               Deep within me a light glows bright,
                               It drives me to the path that`s right,
                                   It guides me, when I sail at sea
                                A light glows bright deep inside me;

                               From glooms of night it sets me free,
                                   When I sail at sea, it guides me,       
                                 It draws its shine from divine light,
                               It sets me free from glooms of night;

                                       Akin to a star it`s sublime,
                                 From divine light it draws its shine,
                               It spreads its bright light wide and far,
                                      It`s sublime akin to a star;

                                   In my life it makes my delight,
                             Wide and far it spreads its bright light.
                                 It relieves the stress of my strife,
                                   It makes my delight in my life;

                                     With full trust in it I believe,
                                   The stress of my life it relieves,
                                It`s a gem that does not catch rust,
                                      In it I believe with full trust.
