Lyrics
Look around, it abounds
Just waiting to be found
Will you see what may be
And harness it as the key?
Seize your chance, at first glance
As steady as in trance
Make your play and don’t stray
Your fortune lies on the way
Go, be on your way
Swift, do not delay
See, I’m by your side
Close throughout the night
Closer now, yet some how
Much further than allowed
Farther out, without route
Yet suffering no more doubt
Trust in me, as in thee
Your courage makes you free
Don’t despair, say your prayer
Entrust yourself to His care
Go, be on your way
Swift, do not delay
See, I’m by your side
Close throughout the night
