It burned it broke it learned to glow
Till fire became the heart’s own snow
No longer wild no longer loud
It joined the dawn it kissed the cloud
We are that flame refined by years
Through joy and pain through dust and tears
Each passion cooled becomes a grace
That warms the world that lights its place
To turn to light is not to fade
But to become what love has made
The fire that ends is not undone
It merges with the rising sun
Burn and rest —in both unite
Transform the blaze into insight
For every soul that shines so bright
Was once a flame that turned to light
