The Gentle Storm - New Horizons lyrics

"Dear diary, I have been trying for days to write a cheerful letter to Joseph, full of news and stories to brighten his tedious journey. But deep within my heart of hearts I feel a pressing sense of urgency, and the tone of my recent letters has not been as optimistic as I would like. In my dreams I see us reunited in happiness, sharing wonderful moments with Michiel. Yet in truth I fear the worst. If I ask him to hurry home, dear diary, will it worry him too much ?" underneath a dusky sky a veil of stardust drifting by I think of you my gallant man and savor the memory again I watch the streets of Amsterdam here is where our life began here is were the future lies if that's what our destiny decides through savage seas and starless nights the Lord has kept you by his side oh sky above, oh wind and rain you can't take the miracle away can you see the new horizons on the road ahead I can see the skies will lighten everywhere you tread can you see the new horizons washing out the old I can see the rainbow rising over seas of gold I pray to see your shining eyes before I reach for paradise heaven knows the skies will clear I welcome eternity without fear can you see the new horizons on the road ahead I can see the skies will lighten everywhere you tread can you see the new horizons washing out the old I can see the rainbow rising over seas of gold my body's weak my heart is strong my task on earth is not yet done I see you hold him in your arms your light, your serenity... your son can you see the new horizons on the road ahead I can see the skies will lighten everywhere you tread can you see the new horizons washing out the old I can see the rainbow rising over seas of gold
