When the end of road is near br When time is moving fast br When everything is added up br And the last of dice is cast br From the silent garden of despair br My voice is reaching out br Take this cup away from me br And release my mind from doubt br br I gaze into the shadows br In the corners of my soul br Where ancient gods and devils roam br And acting out their role br Then a vision bright and clear br I can see His Kingdom reign br In every newborn child br In every little grain br br When greed of gain and slothful ways br Cause pain and bitter strife br It's shame and trouble to my house br And thorns grows 'round my life br In the moment of oblivion br I turn to the wind and rain br With a last and final call br For Him to ease my pain br br I've been to the mountains high br And down to the deepest well br I've seen the light from heaven br And its shadow cast in hell br Then I came to understand br My glow His light sustains br In every newborn child br In all the little grains br br I was taken to the desert br To the howling wilderness br To face temptation's evil joy br And play a game of chess br And many pawns they died that day br To save The Kingdom's reign br And many seeds of tears were sown br In desert sand like rain br br I stand upon the wisdom br Of those who've gone before br My hope is for the children br Playing on the shore br The life I've lived is not in vain br It's like a livin' chain br Through every newborn child br Through every little grain br br Copyright © 2008 Göran Gustafsson.
