In my life I have known the pain
I have felt the strain
Of trying to live from day to day
In my life I have tried to see
I have asked: Why me?
Why must I falter in this way?

But oh, you take me on
Oh, you take me on
To the place where I belong

In my life, I have witnessed war
But I have witnessed more
Between the body and the soul
But in due time, all my fears have ceased
I have come to peace
With this destiny I hold

'Cause you take me on
Oh, you take me on

To the place where I can look around
And the sun will be shining ever bright
No longer bound by the darkness that leads to my demise
And I know that it's true 'cause heaven is you
And I look around
And my feet will be dancing on the clouds
To the sound of the heavenly host singin' aloud
I know that it's true, I'll now that it's you
'Cause I know that you're in my life

In my life, I have found that love
Is the healer of agony's aftermath
In my life, though my sun has set
I have no regrets
For I am going home at last

Oh, won't you take me on? ('cause I'm ready now)
Oh, won't you take me on

To the place where I can look around
And the sun will be shining ever bright
No longer bound by the darkness that leads to my demise
And I know that it's true 'cause heaven is you
And I look around
And my feet will be dancing on the clouds
To the sound of the heavenly host singin' aloud
I know that it's true, I'll now that it's you
'Cause I know that you're in my life

In my life I have known the pain
I have felt the strain
Of trying to live from day to day
