ROWING TO THE LIGHT
©1997 Julia Lane

Chorus:
We are rowing to the Light
We are rowing to the Light
With our joyful voices singing
We are rowing to the Light

Through the dark and driving rain
Through the hunger fear and pain
Though our arms be sore and weary
And we feel the wind's cold bite
We will put away the oars
When we reach that lovely shore
We are going, we are rowing to the Light

Let the strife and terror pass
For the darkness never lasts
And forever moving forward
We can make it through the night
With tomorrow on our minds
We leave sorrow far behind
We are going, we are rowing to the Light

We will open up our hearts
As each one does their part
Working lovingly together
We can surely win the fight
Let us cast away all doubt
Let us all triumphant shout
We are going, we are rowing to the Light
