Echoed voices from within
Each one says to start again
Follow where the sunlight leads
Until you have claimed your needs
Look ahead and not behind
Let tomorrow fill your mind
Always know you’re not alone
As you make each dawn your own.

Echoed voices deep inside
Each one says, “Swallow your pride”
Life can sometimes be quite strange
Be yourself and do not change
Your heart is as good as gold
Such a treasure to behold
As your life moves, day-to-day
Smile and keep the clouds at bay.

Echoed voices from the soul
Each one says strive for your goal
Walk the course that God has blessed
‘til you find lasting success
Make the time to be a friend–
If you do, then, come the end
When you join Heaven’s elite
Life will be rich and complete.
