Weariness consumes me
Longing pursues me
Tremulous I fear
All I seek is near
Onwards with fear I go
With fear I go
Sweet golden days
Are passing
Lost love everlasting
Wretched and torn apart
Bitter and broken of heart
Onwards
With courage I go,
Onwards I go.

Spirit of life, live on,
In me a friend
To guide me on
On to the end
Yet sure and slow
The years will pass,
Adagio.

Silently imploring
Hopeless adoring
Yet my will is strong
Tho fate
Decrees me wrong
Onwards with hope I go,
With hope I go
Greater griefs
Have found you
Now happiness
Surrounds you
I hold you here in my heart
Safe with me, never to part
Onwards forever I go,
Adagio
Onwards I go.
