Lyrics

Helen, I have brought you a lily today
For the roses were frail and the petals fell away
The morning mist has kissed your grave
Rest now in sleep
Our secrets will keep
'Til we speak again tomorrow
When I lay myself down to sleep tonight
I pray I might
Know why God has tempered judgement
Not with mercy but with sorrow
Let the world forsake me
Let them do their worst, I will
Withstand it all
They will not break me
There is another world that watches us (There's a world)
I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid)
The angels know when we have sinned (They know)
Or we have been betrayed
As I lay myself down to sleep tonight (As I lay down to sleep)
I pray I might (I pray I might)
Be granted strength to see
The spark of heaven's guiding light
My rebellion waits
The silent cry my spirit sings
Goes far beyond these gates
Oh, Helen, what awaits?
Written by: John Caird, Paul Gordon
