When i strode along the shores of death In my own and lonely ways And in the end i reached the bounds of life And when the shadows called my name, You came into my dreary world, Like an everflowing stream of light.
With the touch of gentle hands You comforted my barren soul, When through your velvet-lips New zest of life poured into my empty shell.
You are the incentive That makes me live again. When i feel the strength you share, This energy is my sail, That drove me from the shores of death, Into a brave new world, Wherein you are my leading hand.
