You were cold as the blood through your bones

And the light which led us from our chosen homes

Sleep the hours and that I don't weep

When all I knew was steeped in blackened holes
CG
I was lost

Keep the earth below my feet

For all my sweat, my blood runs weak

Keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn

Keep my eyes to serve and hands to learn
