Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

May all of your days shine brightly

And your nights blessed with peace

Wherever you lay down to sleep


And all things are made good

For those who believe

May you grow from a seed

Into a strong, fruitful tree


As the days unfold

Hold your breath to see

Life is a mystery


And joy, it is severe

When the way is rough and steep

But love will make your days complete


And may the work of your hands help those in need

Befriend the lonely, serve the weak

And forgive enemies


And if you find true love, one day marry

Bear a child from your seed

Help it to grow into a tree


As the days unfold 

Hold your breathe to see

Life is a mystery


And joy, it is severe

When the way is rough and steep

Love will make your days complete
