This world can be a pitiful place
Where men and women lie
And hide their shame behind a face
And rot until they die

This land is bleak and like a stone
The bare trees stand austere
The winter winds are fiercely blown
The rain falls far and near

Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand

It’s awakening

I used to be a sinful man
Wretched through and through
To please myself as best I can
Was all I hoped to do

The paths with briars are overgrown
The rivers full of mud
The forests fear the mountains moan
The flowers refuse to bud

Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand

It’s awakening

Open the door and let love in
Open your heart, step in the light
Welcome the springtime and begin your new life

I feel his body next to mine
Broken for three days
And by his heavenly grace divine
I know that I am saved

This world it is a beautiful place
Awakened by the light
Reborn at last the human race
Can walk in paradise

Come away you spirit of darkness
Take your black spell from the land
Roll away you spirit of sadness
Cos the new life is at hand

It’s awakening
