For Lora and Nolan

On a golden springtime, underneath the ground,
A tiny seedling lay asleep until the sun shone down.
Awake, awake, O little seed!
Push upward toward the light!
The day is bright.
With all your might,
Push upward toward the light.

*****

On a golden springtime, Jesus Christ awoke
And left the tomb where He had lain:
The bands of death He broke.
Awake, awake, O sleeping world!
Look upward to the light.
For now all men may live again,
Look upward to the light!

*****

On a golden springtime, on a flowered hill,
Mother, son, united, their life together pure
The Father spoken His will.
Awake, awake, that sweetest word,
Look upward to the light.
Eternal sight, brings, hearts so bright.
Look upward to the light.
