On the hills of carpeted lands
Sprinkle spread as far the eye can see
Dandelions claim this land as their own
Bright and yellow like victory songs loud
On the hills of carpeted lands
At an advantage for the observers' watch
Lighthouse stands like flag post to spot
Beaming light for sailors' rescue
On the hills of carpeted lands
Structured built as a mighty house
To give the light a backbone of rock to stand on
Grand and symbolic to journeys' end
On the hills of carpeted lands
Wild as weed, voyagers travel out to sea
Seeking route to adventures' fortune
And assigned gift of promises of faithfulness
On the hills of carpeted lands
A pact is made, a happiness awarded
A symbolic medallion for travelers comfort
That the home of hearts will wait for love
On the hills of carpeted lands
Spring would beam bright the essence of dandelions

A beacon of hope can be in the form of a person who is prepared to sacrifice for others. Nice thoughts Kodjo!
