Refrain

Melody

You ask how a man approaching the tomb
can go back and start anew.
Just let the water and wind be the womb
and follow the song passing through.
Refrain
Don't ask why
I bother to speak to you.
Your lie is not what you think.
I'll give you water to quench your thirst;
for new life, draw deep and drink.
Refrain
Don't sit
there and cry: 'There's no one to help!'
If you really want to be free:
Rise! and try to walk by yourself.
I AM, the light, lets you see.
Refrain
You follow
because of the food you were given
but will hunger until you believe:
I AM, the bread offered from heaven.
Take, eat! and true life receive.
Refrain
I AM, the
shepherd; I AM, the door;
I AM, the truth, way and life.
Those who are mine know my voice.
Peace I leave instead of strife.
Refrain
I thank you,
Father! Now your will be done
here below as above.
I only ask: make my brothers one
as you and I are, in love.
Refrain
