The sorrow of my heart cries out to the deep
In the darkness, in the shadows, I weep
Hopeless and torn
Broken and worn
I feel my world crumbling around me
Tired is my mind, tired is my soul
Spiraling down into a black hole
Weariness seeps into my bones
Carried around like a mountain of stones
They weigh on my being
All joy fleeing
Emptiness encroaching
Hopelessness approaching
But in all the despair and despondence
There’s a light that breaks the night
Through the clouds of daily worry
There’s a wind blowing new air
Blasting away the thunderhead
Breaking away the smothering smog
The radiance of the sun lights up the valley
It chases away the shadows of anguish
It brings new life to the weariness of my soul
It soothes away the woes of my mind
The sun, my light
The wind, my kite
Blessing my heart
Making me soar
The Son, you are my light
The Lord, you are my wind
Speaking through love of those around
Toppling down the mountain of stones
And lifting up my weary bones
To be filled and merry
Hopeful and airy
