Sinopsis

The Kalevala begins with the traditional Finnish creation myth, leading into stories of the creation of the earth, plants, creatures and the sky. Creation, healing, combat and internal story telling are often accomplished by the character(s) involved singing of their exploits or desires. Many parts of the stories involve a character hunting or requesting lyrics (spells) to acquire some skill, such as boat-building or the mastery of iron making. As well as magical spell casting and singing, there are many stories of lust, romance, kidnapping and seduction. The protagonists of the stories often have to accomplish feats that are unreasonable or impossible which they often fail to achieve leading to tragedy and humiliation.

Just Like You 
You’re my hope. You’re my hero. 
You know all I am and what I can be. 
Take this hard heart and make it like yours. 
Holy Father, I need your heart. 
  
You’re my heart. You’re my hero. 
Let my life reflect your love. 
Give me eyes to see past walls. 
Give me ears to hear heart cries. 
Give me hands that heal in your name. 
O Holy Father, I want to be just like you. 
  
You’re my Father. You’re my hero. 
May my spirit walk with you. 
Train my mind to see the lost ones. 
Tune my ears to hear your voice. 
May my soul shine with your light. 
Dear Holy Father, I want to be just like you. 
  
You’re my light. You’re my hero. 
You know all I am and what I will be. 
Take this one soul and make it like yours.  
Dear Dad, I want to be just like you.
