This winding road I've traveled,
Once forgotten, twice removed.
Has left its mark upon my heart
Lost among the shadows, clouded by the dark.
This winding road has made familiar
Each trial I've had to bear,
Each turn a passing ray of light
Embracing me with care.
This winding road I look for
Each day I hasten now my pace
To quickly find the matter,
The secret to the race.
This winding road a test for me
To answer to the call.
God calls fourth his mighty army
To give witness to it all.
This winding road a straighter path
Familiar now it seems,
Not so deeply meant to be
A puzzlement for me.

This winding road I've traveled,
Once forgotten, twice removed.
Has left its mark upon my heart
Lost among the shadows, clouded by the dark.
This winding road has made familiar
Each trial I've had to bear,
Each turn a passing ray of light
Embracing me with care.
This winding road I look for
Each day I hasten now my pace
To quickly find the matter,
The secret to the race.
This winding road a test for me
To answer to the call.
God calls fourth his mighty army
To give witness to it all.
This winding road a straighter path
Familiar now it seems,
Not so deeply meant to be
A puzzlement for me.
