At life's decree, at fate's design,
Shall laughter bloom, or tears entwine?
At life's decree, at fate's design,
Shall laughter bloom, or tears entwine?
The sun of pain, it knows no dusk,
No shade to find, no healing husk.
How can we find a shadowed grace?
How can we find a shadowed grace?
With shame embraced, a heavy load,
Loneliness laughs upon the road.
With shame embraced, a heavy load,
Loneliness laughs upon the road.
Oh, helpless plight, this bitter sting,
Tell us, what comfort can you bring?
Oh, helpless plight, this bitter sting,
Tell us, what comfort can you bring?
The night of grief, it stands so still,
Caught in the storm, against our will.
The night of grief, it stands so still,
Caught in the storm, against our will.
How can a candle's flame ignite?
How can we find the inner light?
How can a candle's flame ignite?
How can we find the inner light?
At life's decree, at fate's design,
Shall laughter bloom, or tears entwine?
