Standing at the winter's shore
And I wanted more
Than the sun could give me

Shed my things right there
So I could prepare
For what was to come

Plunged Into the icy deep
My soul to keep
From all that harms me

The waters took me down
First cold and then so warm
I felt the fire

Now that fire burns within me
May it burn in days to come
To protect me from the darkness
I have been reborn

Someday we will understand where our spirits go
Until then you can take my hand cause we both don't know

Felt so tired and worn
My spirit torn
From the daily struggle

Too hard to believe
In grace received
In this world of woe

Then I heard your newborn cry
and I felt a light
was coming to me

Your curious little eyes
How they did shine
Everything was new

Now that light shines within me
May it shine in days to come
To protect me from the darkness
I have been reborn
