I too a wanderer In the valley of sorrow Where days are dark, Obscured from the sun. I walked in pain and tears, Despairing of finding light and love, Shadows cast about me By devils. My youth slipped away, My passions cooled, My heart hardened, My eyes cast down. With downcast eyes I could not see That heaven's gate Was opening And you about to descend, A loving angel Just for me. But when I cast my eyes upward I saw light, I saw heights That I could ascend to And love a possibility once more, And this time true. Spirit of light, My heart softened For you, because of you. You in my arms And in my heart Always ... Sorrow has departed And I emerge from the vale, A man!
