Out of darkness I come It's all over, it's done I walk this higher ground Stretching all around Out of darkness in me No harder place to be Destiny marked my name No one left to blame Take up this cross of yours Day after day No matter what they say You leave the world behind Thunder and rain Just passing by we wish to see A senseless world What story would be told? Sorrow and pain Like a bitter-tasting remedy Flow through your heart While tearing it apart I've been struggling for years Fighting thoughts, memories Locked out of the promised land Once it seemed at hand But no longer a slave Been forgiven, forgave Soul's reaching for the sky It's not meant to die Take up this cross of yours Day after day You take the lonesome way Braving your restless mind Thunder and rain Just passing by we wish to see A senseless world What story would be told? Sorrow and pain Like a bitter-tasting remedy Flow through your heart While tearing it apart
