In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother,
In shadows deep, my life descends.
How long must I endure, these tears I smother?
In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends,
How long must I endure, these tears I smother?
How long must I endure, these tears I smother?
Grant me your vision, embrace me, hold me,
Grant me your vision, embrace me, hold me.
Do not forsake your sacred ways, Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends.

Without you, none are mine, sorrow’s snare ensnares,
Without you, none are mine, sorrow’s snare.
You are my only refuge, grasp my hand, my prayers.
Each day a year that stretches, living on, Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends.

You, the ocean of love, of compassion the vessel,
You, the ocean of love, of compassion.
With your grace, reveal, Mother,
My joys, let them blossom.
And how shall I live now, these wounds I wrestle?
In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends.
How long must I endure, these tears I smother?
How long must I endure, these tears I smother?
Grant me your vision, embrace me, hold me,
Grant me your vision, embrace me, hold me.
Do not forsake your sacred ways, Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends, O Mother.
In shadows deep, my life descends.
