Lyrics
The desert wind, the burnÂing sand,
the voice that called me onward,
the nameÂless child, the need to leave my home,
the frankÂinÂcense that stung the air,
the lamb that walked beside me,
the burÂden that weighed down upon my soul…
It could have been a dream; too selfÂless to be true.
The strugÂgle and the pain, they were for you.
The shinÂing star, the tenÂder child,
the straw that filled the manger,
the peaceÂful rest, at last, at jourÂney’s end,
the mornÂing sun in BethÂleÂhem,
the footÂsteps left behind me,
the overÂcomÂing, and the road ahead…
It must have been a dream, and yet I know it’s true.
When I began, I thought it was for you.
But with the grateÂful dawn, a deepÂer truth I see:
It wasÂn’t just for you. It was for me.
