Many knights had come Searching for their Glory's Pride But in a daze they'd ride Back home...
Back home...
Back home...
I walked the road Wondering why I had to go Into the wind and snow Gave my sword away As a gift to those I loved And armless now I was Alone...
Alone...
Alone...
The winter wind blew cold the night I came into the town The 'morrow was the Birthday of the Cross My life till then seemed empty And I knew the reason why With desparation driving me I had to find the Living Glory
A tower loomed before my eyes A landmark in the sky Surrounded by a score of warm abodes With weariness I knocked upon a door To enter through
And though I was a stranger there The gates flung open And a voice said
"Welcome to the Hill, my friend... Take off your boots and rest Then tell us why you came to seek the Glory..."
If you'll come with me I will show you the way But you'll have to stay And at the journey's end When you're asked "Wherefore you came?" You'll know you've gone the way Back home...
