Royal Roads

(youtube)

 

When in life we’ve lost our way,                             
And in dark forests aimless stray.
When we don’t know which way to turn,
And for some miraculous rescue yearn.
Like a beacon in the night,
Shines a radiant beckoning light.
From the darkness within rises up the dream,
To show us our way home.

When we cannot find our town,
And in our own self-pity drown.
When our throats are parched with thirst,
On this seemingly endless search.
Like an oasis on desert sand,
Like manna falling from God’s hand.
From the darkness within, rises up the dream,
To show us our way home.

When giant waves would break our boats,                             
And for our lives there seems no hope.
When no lighthouse can be seen afar,
And clouds obscure the compass stars;
Like some friendly sea-god’s hand,
To guide our storm-tossed ships to land,
From the darkness within, rises up the dream,
To show us our way home.

From the darkness within, rises up the dream,
To show us our way home.
