Weariness consumes me
Longing pursues me
Tremulous I fear
All I seek is near
Onwards with fear I go,
With fear I go
Sweet golden days are passing
Lost love everlasting
Wretched and torn apart
Bitter and broken of heart
Onwards with courage I go,
Onwards I go
Spirit of life, live on, in me a friend
To guide me on, on to the end
Yet sure and slow
The years will pass, Adagio
~ ~
Silently imploring
Hopelessly adoring
Yet my will is strong
Though fate decrees me wrong
Onwards with hope I go,
With hope I go
Greater griefs have found you
Now happiness surrounds you
I hold you here in my heart
Safe with me, never to part
Onwards forever I go, Adagio
Onwards I go
