I have been hedged in by thorns on every side I have been burned by your jealous flame I have been tested by your fire I have chased my other lovers I have been turned away As I ache with desire I will stand and say I will return to my first love I will return to the one who loves me I will return to my true love I will return to the one who loves me You find me in the night Hold me in the night Open up my eyes You open up my eyes I have been wounded by your perfect love I have been slain in the desert place I have been pursued and overcome I have chased my other lovers I have been turned away As I ache with desire I will stand and say And the sun will rise And the sun will rise And the sun will rise And the sun will rise
