A heavy heart makes weary all our steps our fleeting pleasures vanish one by one,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray when earthly shadows flee forevermore.
A quiet grief that speaks without a word and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,A deeper wisdom blossoms out of pain until the peace of heaven heals the mind.
We watched the sunset fade into the grey and drained the joy of youth from mortal eyes,The aching soul shall find its native rest to guide the wanderer to the gates of grace.

When friends depart and youthful days are gone and hears the distant tolling of the bell,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and scatter all the darkness of our tears.
A solitary bird mourns in the bough and felt the darkness enter in our souls,The aching soul shall find its native rest above the storms of this tempestuous earth.
How lonely walks the pilgrim in the dusk black as the pit that stretches pole to pole,The winter tempest prepares the soil for spring to face the trials of the coming year.
We watched the sunset fade into the grey can never wake the joy that once was ours,No winter tempest lasts forevermore and fills the spirit with immortal love.

The tears that fall in secret on the dust and extinguishes the hope of yesterday,Through tears the spirit learns the higher faith and waits in stillness for the dawn to break.
