A new day dawns, 

And I greet the sunrise

As an equal.

Nature and I are attuned to one another.

Each new day

I have the chance to learn,

To grow as a person,

And to get to know myself better.

I wake, and stretch, and begin to pray.

I pray for the world, and hope that I can make the

Change I wish to make.

I wake so that I can right the wrongs in this world.

I wake in order to learn more.

I wake to hope.

I wake to pray.

I wake to dream.

I wake to live.
