I tried to run away from home, To hide the pain in endless deeds; As the cold wind blew, my heart just grew, Laying bare its true needs. Then I've found the ocean--a present for me, To wash me and examine the ailing part; The restless waves whispered into my ears, "Tomorrow your journey will start." There's something special in the air, Before the bright sun was up; I was equipped, was ready, Lookin' forward to reach the top. Determined to scale that mountain, To discover what's at its crest; The trudge seemed so arduous, But I should give it my best. I saw him standing at the summit, He greeted me with the gentle breeze; Then I realized He'd been waitin' there for so long, That scene should not be missed. He sheltered me from cold and harm, He helped me forget my painful past; I didn't feel I was far from home, Because home was where He was. All the springs my soul has tested, Failed to meet my deepest need; He, alone has met my longing, He has satisfied me indeed! But sadness began to arise, When darkness slowly invading the purple sky; Then He promised, "I'll be with you day and night." I knew for sure t'was not goodbye. Oh! I met Him at the mountain crest! Delighted for the message He tried to impart; This one He vividly wrote in white on a rainbow, I will certainly keep forever in my heart: "To gain life's summit is to be bold to go up, For much surprises there to be seen; Along the way there might be rain and pain, But it's the only way to fulfill you dream."
