He gave me everything - he gave me life.
Sunlight by day and starlight by night,
and when we came to a place that I didn’t know
He said to me "Will you go? - Will you go?"

Though I trembled and my knees felt weak to stand,
I felt power in the strength of his hand.
He said "There is so much that I want to show you"
He said to me "Will you go? - Will you go?"

And I said “I was born to love you,
though I never knew.
Now I see the joy you have for me
what else can I do?"

I’ll run in the way your shadows fading,
climb the mountain where you’ll be,
run outside and dance with summer rain
anything to bring you close to me.
Sit in my big and comfy chair and
drink my lemonade iced tea,
put on my coat and laugh with winter wind
trying to bring you close to me.

We traveled for so long and I grew weaker more.
He wanted to keep going and I asked him what for.
He said “Just a little farther now and you will know.”
He asked me again “Will you go? Will you go?”

Night time came slowly and darkness faded in
I couldn’t see myself and I couldn’t find him,
but his voice called out my name - beckoning me so.
He called to me “Will you go? - Will you go?”

And I cried “I was born to love you,
though I never knew.
Now I see the joy you have for me
what else can I do?"

I’ll run in the way your shadows fading,
climb the mountain where you’ll be,
run outside and dance with summer rain
anything to bring you close to me.
Sit in my big and comfy chair and
drink my lemonade iced tea,
put on my coat and laugh with winter wind
trying to bring you close to me.

I was born to love you, though I never knew.
Now I see the joy you have for me
But is it too late to...

I’ll run in the way your shadows fading,
climb the mountain where he'll be,
run outside and dance with summer rain
anything to bring him close to me.
Sit in my big and comfy chair and
drink my lemonade iced tea,
put on my coat and laugh with winter wind
trying to bring him close to me.

Well so many years have gone since my hand I pulled away,
but so many blessed times I had the strength to stay.
I struggle with it daily, though if he knows it doesn’t show.
He still asks me: “Will you go? - Will you go?”
