   He came from the mountain
   To walk among the wounded
   They couldn't see him
   But the snow did melt whenever he passed by

   He came behind winter
   His face was like the sun
   They wouldn't see it
   But he sang on the bank and made the waters run

     In his world we wait
     In his hands our fate
     Keep on climbing
     We shall see his gate
     In good time

   He came to the lowlands
   He said we must have faces
   So we could see like him
   Before our wings would ever come to fly

     In his world we wait
     In his hands our fate
     Keep on climbing
     We shall see his gate
     In good time

     In his world we wait
     In his hands our fate
     Keep on climbing
     We shall see his gate
     In good time
