I walked in darkness all alone
Never a soul around
No helping hand, no kindly heart
Just emptiness

And as I walked, there was a light,
A bright and glorious star.
I reached out, what could it be?
And would it warm my heart?

My hands were cold, my heart was pounding
Dare I take the risk?
For every time I found a star,
There was a fire burning.

A fire that would warm my heart
A fire that was loving
A fire that would take my soul
And burn it into nothing.

Walking on, I heard a sound
A sound like breaking glass.
I turned, to find scattered all around
The pieces of my broken heart.

They say that love can give you life
They say that love can make you whole
They say that love can bring great joy
And make your life worth living.

They do not tell you of the pain
And all the dips and valleys.
They do not tell you of the fire
That can leave you dying.

We come alone and go alone
And whatever shall be shall be.
I look at the pieces of my broken heart
And weep for what could be.

But as I walk along today
Baptised in fire, and carved from stone
I know that I can love again
And will for evermore.

For love is all we have to show
On that final judgement day.
And as I love, I shall be loved
For love is here to stay.
