May you love and be loved in return
May you be ablaze but never burn out
May you find beauty within and without
May you always win and forever doubt
The world is beauty without end
May you dance through your youth, flirting with madness
And when madness starts flirting back rest from your rage
May you stay forever young but with the wisdom of age
The world is beauty without end
The world is beautiful my friend
Without God, Master or Plan
We'll show you where to go, set you out on your way
Through those fearsome moments, when the world is slipping down away under your feet
Wanting less we'll find all the happiness there is all the happiness inside
We'll be alright, walking wide-eyed, riding high under bright-lit skies
And we know we can count on each other, every single step of the way
Till the end, my beautiful Friend
May you find answers, and for every answer find more questions
May you walk harsh roads strewn with sharp stones and find a little grain
And from the ashes of failure, be forever born again
The world is beauty without end
The world is beautiful my friend
May the Quiltmaker bless your fate and grant you the fine balance
May the squares and diamonds and triangles of seemingly random symmetry
Lead you to a life that's true and fair
And when the lily-hours have blossomed into life
We'll go and see the Tuscany
To stand together under these skies
Forever changing and endlessly the same
To gaze upon these stars once again
To gaze upon these stars together again
