J'élève La Voix

Long is the night
And deep the silence
The darkness in the absence
Of light and brilliance
From shadow to oblivion
From sorrow to fault
To believe in nothing else
But effort without faith

{Chorus:}
I raise my voice
I stand up and believe
In the life that gives back
Both breath and strength
To the impulses of my faith
And I walk and I see
A path beyond
A star in the morning
And the night that fades away
To the cries of my joy

In my heart, so many cries
And my lips close
On masts that confine me
In the direction they have taken
And yet I know well
With dawn at my door
And the songs it brings me
I will know the way

{Chorus}
