V.1.:  It's a hard time
       A time of struggles
       A time of changes
       I didn't
        --
         expect
         I'm a simple woman
         I love my daughter
         She's too young to know
         Why her daddy isn't
        --
       here

V.2.:  Alone at night, I wonder many things
       I wonder where my husband is; I wonder
       How long he'll be
        --
         away
         I wonder if he'll come back
         I wonder many things
         In the
        --
       dark

V.3.:  In the journey of the night
       I pass through many countries
       I pass the misty mountains of memory
       I rest a long time in the land of patience
       I journey
        --
         on
         I pass through the gorges of fear
         I crawl across the vast plain of despair
         I journey
        --
       on

V.4.:  I wake in the morning
       The sun is high; I've overslept
       I hear a child's voice laughing
       In the next room
       The sun is flooding
        --
         in
         I see my daughter dancing
         Dancing in the sunlight
         Dancing with
        --
       delight
