Lyrics:

You know life’s been kind to you, fate carried you with grace,
Still, a moment comes when light just vanishes, no trace.
Like a boatman staring out, the shore too far to see,
It scares you when the song inside is silent suddenly.

You'd give up, I know, sometimes—the world is harsh and loud,
But you can't stay yet on the ground, defeated, lost and bowed.
The song will come again, if you believe it still,
And show your heart the way beyond the dreary shadowed hill.

I once made a vow to guard you, stay beside your days,
There’s no deeper wound for me than losing you always.
But go now, take that long road, walk it to the end,
I'll stay here till you hear again the song your soul will send.

You'd give up, I know, sometimes—the world is harsh and loud,
But you can't stay yet on the ground, defeated, lost and bowed.
The song will come again, if you believe it still,
And show your heart the way beyond the dreary shadowed hill.

The song will softly tell us: we’re not alone tonight.
We fight if we must, and we cherish all the light.
We know it ends someday, the road is not too long—
But while we live, we listen to the quiet soul-born song.
