At the break of the dawn, down on my knees,
Humbled by your grace,
I gather myself,
To be worthy of what I must become.
Soon the sun will shine bright,
Your grace judges not,
May all burn to ashes what is not noble,
May what remain be sparkling white.
May the past be not a burden, but a guiding light,
May I see beyond doubt,
May I have the will, may I have the courage,
To become what I am.
Prepared I am to take on the lead,
To go miles in the dark, to carve roads where there are none,
To rule the kingdom of life,
I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
I rise to hold your sword as mine,
To fight worthy wars, to tame distant challenges,
In thy name,
I rise to serve, I rise to shine.
