Love will arrive,
It will bring back old memories
Of pain
Of hope
If we dare listen to it
We will know how big the world truly is
Love will arrive,
It will shine a light on our exile
Cast away the shadows of our souls
When it comes into our sight
It will lead us into life
Love will arrive,
On feathered wings
It will call out our bravery
And we must choose
The cost
Love will arrive,
Will you give all that you are
And all that you will ever be
To truly be free
