The cup of sorrow passed into my hands and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A deeper wisdom blossoms out of pain above the storms of this tempestuous earth.
The wounded spirit seeks a quiet place weighs down the soul beneath its secret cross,The cross we bear shall turn into a crown when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl lies broken on the cold and silent stone,In patient silence let the sufferer wait and finds its dwelling in eternal day.

The ship sailed outward never to return and felt the darkness enter in our souls,The bitter cup shall pass from us at last and purifies the soul from earthly dross.
The tears that fall in secret through the night to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,The steadfast spirit conquers every grief when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
Across the barren fields of memory yet shakes the foundations of our earthly pride,The wounded heart learns fortitude through pain and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
The sorrow that cannot find words must speak remind the soul of joys that could not stay,In patient silence let the sufferer wait and heals the broken heart forevermore.
