Lyrics
The desert wind, the burning sand,
the voice that called me onward,
the nameless child, the need to leave my home,
the frankincense that stung the air,
the lamb that walked beside me,
the burden that weighed down upon my soul…
It could have been a dream; too selfless to be true.
The struggle and the pain, they were for you.
The shining star, the tender child,
the straw that filled the manger,
the peaceful rest, at last, at journey’s end,
the morning sun in Bethlehem,
the footsteps left behind me,
the overcoming, 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 grateful dawn, a deeper truth I see:
It wasn’t just for you. It was for me.
