Fire and water, seem polar opposites
Yet they have common properties
Fire can seem red, until you examine it
And see all the colors
That it has in it

Water seems clear
But reflects what looks at it
And when it refracts
The colors are
Luminous

Fire is a source of light
Water is a source of life
When they meet in the mist
The colors are bright
So even in the depths
It all is alright

In a world of distortions and distractions
We need to find the fight
And dig deep, despite
Since it's possible
for us all to illuminate
When we shine in this world
We find exuberance

Fluid goes down
Fire leaps up
But water goes to the clouds
Fire stays on wicks with wax

Both spiritual and physical
Come from the same source
So we can bring down the light
Lift up the dark

The sun is all, light
The moon seems like a dark rock
But they both light the path
Both are essential parts

The moon affects the tides
The sun helps grow the plants
We combine both
For our calendar to count

Tradition is non changing
Solar station
We also need innovation
Lunar relation

When we find the delight
Hidden in the doom
It's the bright side
Of the moon

The material world
Seems ruled by the selfish
Who take advantage
Of the weak and the helpless

And it seems like
We cannot help this
The machine keeps running
Benefiting the demented

One day that will change
Let's bring that day closer
The Name wants us to help
Anyway we can be helpers

The greats in the past
Had a dream
One that's not impossible
And together we can bring
So shine, refine
Let's lift up each other
Fire and water
Solar and lunar

Light the dark
And uncover the color
On this world
And in one another
