Lyrics

A thousand years, they waited for
Someone who would be true
And now the empty years have passed
The sunlight shines anew

[ chorus ]

Someone who knows no fear
I feel him near
The child was born to be a king, a king
And the time has come

He tamed the wild wind when he passed
The birds and beasts he knew
Until he came to rest, at last
The tall gates he passed through

[ repeat chorus ]

And now the story's just begun
A thousand years to stay
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away

[ repeat chorus ]
