[Verse 1] A narrow trail through tangled woods, Where fear walked at my side. Impatience pushed from stone to stone; Pride whispered, “You can guide.” Harsh thorns caught every reaching hand. No gentle breeze was near. The bitter wind knew only wrath, And every step bred fear. [Chorus] There must be more beyond these trees, More than shadows on the way. If this road belongs to Heaven, Why can’t these weary eyes find day? Every burden bends my back. Every step feels all alone. Can the path that frightens me One day lead me home? [Bridge] Then quietly, the sunrise came. Its gold touched every tree. The forest wore the very light I’d never learned to see. [Verse 2] The selfsame trail through quiet woods, Now hope walks at my side. Love invites each weary step; Faith no longer hides. Soft winds carry songs of joy. Peace flows clear and deep. Kindness blossoms by the path, Where once grew only grief. Goodness ripens on the vines. Patience keeps my pace. Gentleness and self-control Guide me all the way. [Final Chorus] There was always more beyond these trees. Morning chased away the night. The path had always waited here; Now every step reflects His light.
