For One who knows no rival You know all about being afraid From the day of your dangerous arrival You started learning to be brave The mighty fortress was no longer safe A story starts and there's a grave for you Heaven's praise has never ceased Though our voices turned aside Trailing off on aimless themes Melodies that fade and die So you entered life with death in mind To seek the dead with your reviving song O world, you are so young But you're tired and weary in your curse So listen to the Ancient One Who set his face and faced the worst... Whose child-like joy invades the earth The only spring in this old thirsty world
