|
At the end of this run down tenement hall |
|
Is the room of a girl |
|
I know She cowers behind all the dead bolt locks |
|
Afraid of the outside world |
|
So how should |
|
I come to the one |
|
I love? I will find a way |
|
Many thieves and collectors had used that door |
|
But they only brought her shame |
|
So she won't even open it anymore |
|
Still I will find a way |
|
I could call out her name with love through the walls |
|
But condemnation is all she hears |
|
I could break down the door and take her into my arms |
|
But she might die from the fear |
|
So how should |
|
I come to the one |
|
I love? I will find a way, |
|
I will find a way |
|
How should |
|
I come to the one |
|
I love? I will find a way |
|
No hiding place ever kept her safe |
|
So she hides inside herself |
|
Now to reach her heart the only way |
|
Is to hide in there as well |
|
I will hide in there as well |
|
She gave up on love waiting for a change |
|
But a change is coming soon |
|
Cause how could she not love the helpless babe |
|
Who is waking in her womb? |
|
I found way, |
|
I found a way |
|
She'll know |
|
I am coming before |
|
I am here |
|
When she hangs her head she'll see me there |
|
And then when |
|
I come she won't run away |
|
All the beauty and joy will return to her face |
|
And what of the loneliness? |
|
Now it is gone |
|
Lost in the bond of a mother and son |
|
Every sin that she suffered at the hands of men |
|
Every single disgrace will be washed clean again |
|
I will love her completely and when |
|
I am grown |
|
I will carry her out of that tenement room |
|
I am doing a new thing and soon you will see |
|
I am coming among you and my name shall be |
|
Emmanuel, |
|
Emmanuel |
