Leland Wright - Guide (Friends & Family)

What better encouragement to keep someone going
By preaching words that mimic this noting

“Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you”

Giving you a guide through war
Helping you fight off carnivores
Promising you your life won’t deflate
Especially when they’re there to protect your steak
And rejoice when you find a soul mate
Making sure there’s no poison on your food plate
Praying with you for self assurance and grace
They will be there when you raid a college base
With your smarts and quirky music taste
That’s what defines a true friend, a loving family
Reading between your truths and lies, protective strategies
And hugging you when you face tragedies
That could destroy you gradually
Hugging you to preserve your inner galaxy
Happily knowing your friend Stanley
And family will guide you through dark places gladly
Knowing what ignites love is a gift from Christ
It’s a masterpiece; love can even intercept lighting strikes

* Notes: The quote is from the band Coldplay from the song “Fix You” *
