God grant you grace and a love that will last
Children and friends through the years
Hold on to hope when the skies overcast
Treasure both laughter and tears
Shine shine through it all
Rise rise when you fall
Take all life offers the sun and the rain
Cherish the joy and the pain

Think of the friends who stood by
through the years
Lifelines you called in the night
Shoulders you'd cry on who'd not
mind the tears
Someday you'll all reunite
Shine shine through it all
Rise rise when you fall
Take all life offers the sun and the rain
Cherish the joy and the pain

May you find someone who loves
all you are
Someone to hold in the night
Love with your passion and love
with your heart
Dance till they turn out the lights
Time time finds us all
Shine shine till they call
Take all life offers the sun and the rain
Cherish the joy and the pain
