Inspired by \\u201cDon\\u2019t Ask Me To Give up this Dream\\u201d from \\u201cTwelve Women of the Chalice\\u201d Cd set, music by Sue K. Riley and lyrics by Leddy Hammock:

With my back to the past, I let everything go.
I am leaving behind me the life I have known,
In this meadow of memories, nothing can grow.
I am leaving the life I have known.

There are those who will say it is safer to stay
Where the voices around me all call me by name.
But, I\\u2019ll follow the longing that leads me away
From the voices that call me by name.

Don\\u2019t ask me to give up this dream.
Wherever it takes me, I\\u2019ll go.
No matter how hopeless this journey may seem,
Don\\u2019t ask me to give up this dream.

I will gather my good from the seeds of the past,
My blessing will come by the work of my hands.
From the heat of the day to the sunset at last,
I\\u2019ll be blessed by the work of my hands.
Don\\u2019t ask me to give up this dream.
