You have known the kiss of sorrow,
Doors that would not take you in,
Outcast and a stranger.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years.
You have drunk a bitter wine with none to be your comfort,
You who once were left behind will be welcome at love's table.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have take a long way home,
But the love that wits for, you will someday come to know,
You will one day come to know.
All the nights that joy has slept will awake to days of laughter,
Gone the tears that you have wept,
You'll dance in freedom ever after.
You have come by way of sorrow, you've come over a stony ground,
But when love calls out your name, you will lay you burden down,
You will lay you burden down.
You have come by way of sorrow, you have come by way of tears,
But you'll reach the destiny meant to find you all these years,
Meant to find you all these years.
