Spoiler! :
Broken, burned, weak and weary
My soul,
Sapped by the burdens of half a lifetime,
Has made its journey from far places.
Here I am
An emissary of hope.
Seven mountains, seven rivers and seven valleys
My soul has returned.
The lion roams the barren land
Lands once filled with abundance
What is a king without his throne?
Broken spirits, sad and long faces
Here is what is left
The remains of the beauty of summer.
But all is not lost
Hope is restored by the traveler's stone
By the bitter sweet waters of Willamette
The king of Salem stood.
By the river, I sat and washed
My soul torn by the residue of lost years
By the river, I stood and watched
The promised land
The harp and the children playing
The light has come
Out of a remnant weak and small
Shall Zion spring forth
The hope of a thousand years restored.
