The sun kisses a mountain top
And glistens on its face of snow,
And slowly climbs into the sky above
And lights the valley below.

For each of us that this day awakes
A miracle takes place.
For once again we walk our earth
And own all upon its face.

And the past regrets and foolish fears
Of yesterday’s cloudy mind,
Are washed away by the light of day
And seem so far behind.

For each of us is reborn each day,
Our life renews again.
And with the help of God we will find a cause
That makes us want to win.

For one without a goal in life
Is one already dead.
Their mind wanders from place to place,
They walk with feet of lead.

They have no reason to stretch their mind,
No spirit to stir their soul.
Their name is not even in the book,
When destiny calls the roll.

Better to take the wine of life
And drink both deep and long–
Greet each day ’cause you’re here to stay,
And sing your warrior’s song.

For the battle of life is joined, and
You might fight long and true.
For in this strife, it’s the game of your life
And the only loser is you.

Gird up your loins with courage
And answer the trumpets call,
And lose or win, you can say at the end,
This was the greatest of all!
