Prayer of the Gifted
For the treasure of potential
For the night we know will come
Blessed and gifted
Cursed and scorned
Lead us far away from home
Let our power tame our passion
Hold its fire, quell its pain
Send a hero
Send us someone
With a calming gentle rain
May desire die like morning
May its flame no longer burn
Good around us
Be inside us
May our human evils learn
May the blessings we are cursed with
Never make our loved ones cry
Blessed and gifted
Shall we thank thee?
Let us ask thee only—Why?
(Does anyone understand what I'm saying?)
