This world can be a pitiful place
They hide their shame behind a face
This land is bleak and like a stone
The bear trees stand austere
The winter winds are fiercely blown
The rain falls far and near
Come away, you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the bag
Roll away, you spirit of sadness
Cause the new life is at hand
Awakening, it's awakening
I used to be a simple man,
wretched through and through
To please myself as best I
can was all I hoped to do
The paths with briars are overgrown
The forests fear, the mountains moan
The flowers refuse to bud
Come away, you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the dam
Roll away, you spirit of sadness
Cause the new life is at hand
Awakening, it's awakening
Open your heart, step in the land
I feel His body next to mine,
And by His heavenly grace divine,
This world, it is a beautiful place,
Come away, you spirit of darkness,
take your black spell from the light
Roll away, you spirit of sadness,
cause the new life is at hand
Awakening, it's awakening,
Awakening, it's awakening
Awakening, it's awakening
Awakening, it's awakening
Well it is a beautiful place,
