Laughter to kiss your lips,
Hugs when spirits sag,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Patience to accept the truth,
Courage to know yourself,
Love to complete your life.

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
