Kathryn Rose - I walked in darkness - текст песни (слова)

I walked in darkness. Many a lonely mile,
 my eyes and footsteps hesitant and blind.
 I sought a kindly light I did not find
 in land or ocean, asking all the while 
 if lightless lives are taken in exchange
 for light eternal; still the shades of sight
 would whisper, "Even I shall see the light!"
 I never thought the light would look so strange.
 Not in a temple, echoing and awed,
 Nor in a palace, glistening and grand,
 Nor in my home, nor any friendly land.
 But distant, dirty, in a shed abroad,
 I met a maiden bloody from a birth
 and in her arms, the light of all the earth.
