Take me by the hand
  Lead me to the water
  I will be your lamb
  Heading for the slaughter
  
  I've been away from home too long
  But I still taste the tears
  And when I'm in some stranger's arms
  I still feel you near
  
  Now if they ask me how I feel
  I smile and say 'Just fine!'
  But deep inside this lonely heart
  I know you're still mine
  
  Take me by the hand
  Lead me from the fire
  We'll fly up from this land
  We're going to get higher
  
  So this is where the end begins
  The parting of the ways
  Somebody's calling me up there
  I hear it in the waves
  
  Take me by the hand
  Lead me to the water
  I will be your lamb
  I'm ready for the slaughter
  
  Take me by the hand
  Lead me from the fire
  We'll fly up from this land
  I'm dying to get higher
