About this Event
In sanctified waters
On the deepest night
Seeds germinate
Pinpoints of light
Their brilliance will illuminate
Reminding us it's not too late
Find purpose as you join with us
Remember and lean into trust
The ground is fertile for rebellion
First rest
Then raise Hell
Like Wyld Stallyns
