At the end of this run down tenement hall
|
Is the room of a girl I know
|
She cowers behind all the dead bolt locks
|
Afraid of the outside world
|
|
So how should I come to the one I love?
|
I will find a way
|
|
Many thieves and collectors have used that door
|
But they only brought her shame
|
So she won't even open it anymore
|
Still I will find a way
|
|
I could call out her name with love through the walls
|
But condemnation is all she hears
|
I could break down the door and take her into my arms
|
But she might die from the fear
|
|
So how should I come to the one I love?
|
I will find a way, I will find a way
|
How should I come to the one I love?
|
I will find a way
|
|
No hiding place ever kept her safe
|
So she hides inside herself
|
Now to reach her heart the only way
|
Is to hide in there as well
|
I will hide in there as well
|
|
She gave up on love waiting for a change
|
But a change is coming soon
|
How could she not love the helpless babe
|
Who is waking in her womb?
|
|
I found way, I found a wayAˇ¦
|
|
She'll know I am coming before I am here
|
When she hangs her head she'll see me there
|
And then when I come she won't run away
|
All the beauty and joy will return to her face
|
And what of the loneliness? Now it is gone
|
Lost in the bond of a mother and son
|
Every sin that she suffered at the hands of men
|
Every single disgrace will be washed clean again
|
I will love her completely and when I am grown
|
I will carry her out of that tenement room
|
I am doing a new thing and soon you will see
|
I am coming among you and my name shall be
|
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
|
