The lyrics invoke the Spirit to be with us in our journeys in life and to enlighten us so that we may no longer be held captive by fear and sadness and instead, come to know genuine peace and freedom. It is a prayer asking for strength and courage, to break the chains of the past and to embrace a brighter future.
