For so long, far too long
Oh, my voice lost to the wilderness
With no song, far too long
Here in these shadows we must stay
Walk the grey road, this brutal terrain
Until the wind blows and seals
Until the sacred light brings us
Home to the hillside, the river,
The brightest horizon we ever will
Now all my feet you must carry me
O 'er this road, these cruel stones
but be moved, moved to love.
Here in this barrenness we survive,
This fearful land, these terrible times
Until the clouds roll away
Dream us home to the hillside
The river, the sparrow's song
The brightest horizon we ever
bloom now among these storms
Soon ends the bleakness of night
And soon you shall rise up and fly
