Zain Bhikha - Where We Belong lyrics

Once, I was drowning in my fears And the twinkle in my eye disappeared And I had no way to look on My horizon seemed to have gone And my whole life, seemed empty and bleak Each day and night, the answers I seek Chorus: (1): But when, the darkness seemed so strong And I couldn't go on To the sky I raised my hands Making right what was so wrong I found the strength to carry on Up to heaven where I belong In life, there are lessons to be learned With steadfastness, paradise Is earned And if, all hope seems to be gone Just hold on till after the storm And if you ask, what purpose have I Why am I here, and why do I cry? Chorus: (2): And when, the darkness seems so strong And you just can't go on Pray for your helping hand You'll see the sun will rise again You'll find the strength to carry on Up to heaven where you belong Cos life is but a journey for us all We cry, we laugh, we run sometimes we fall But through it all, always recall God never gives, a burden too tall
