From "We Remember Them" by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens and Jack Riemer:

"At the rising of the sun and at its going down ….
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them."

"At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring ….
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them."

"At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn ….
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them."

"When we have achievements that are based on theirs ….
When we fulfill their dreams, and our own, we remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live: for they are now a part of us, as we remember them."

I am one with the heart of the Mother.
I am one with the heart of Love.

From lyrics to "I Am One" by Tim Bays & Jana Stanfield:

I'm just a spoke in the wheel, one grain of sand,
But it feels so right, to be right where I am.

I'm just one little part of a much bigger plan,
And the longer I'm here, the more I understand.

I am one. We are one, like the rays of the sun.

When it's all said and done, I am one, we are one.

Inspired by "Earth" by David Roth:

We believe we can live without anger, or hunger, or pain.
Dream of a sign that the Earth can be peaceful again,
A day when we choose not to live anymore like strangers,
For each of us has the power to bring about changes.

Our people are looking higher, seeking the light.
We can do the good we desire when intentions are right.
Remembering what life is really worth,
We want to learn to live in peace on earth.

Dream of a day when we can live in communion.
Dream of a time when we can live without fear.
Awaken a way to get all of us working together.
Know that the time when the Earth can be peaceful is near.

Let our thoughts and our actions always be honest and clear,
Let the people of Earth learn to live in peace without fear.
We believe that the time when the earth can be peaceful is here.

From "It's a Brand New Day" by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, & Glen Roethel:

Faith can move a mountain, part that stormy sea. Love can be a fountain pouring over me.

Hope can build a future so we can truly say. The past is past, free at last, it's a brand new day.

Doubts become believing that death can be destroyed. Painful loss and grieving, can open us to joy.

A dawn of resurrection can chase our fears away. The past is past, free at last, it's a brand new day.

Inspired by lyrics to "Rise!" by Faith Rivera

I close my eyes. I open my heart. I take a deep breath, let the healing start.
I lift my hands. I plant my feet. I let love in, I feel the beat that's calling us to rise!

I ready my soul. I clear my mind. I'm here and now in present time.

I feel the power of a thousand suns lighting up the dark.

Love's calling out my name. Love's calling – that's why we came! Rise up!
Reach for the sky! Going up high. Love is alive. We're bringing the light!

From lyrics to "Hallelujah Today!" by Denise Rosier:

God is my strength, I'm never stranded. I'm not alone.

Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today!

Steady on, I'll finish strong on this path.

Every breath in me proclaims, Hallelujah today!
