The distance calls my soul, the horizon beckons me,
I have to carry on, though I am growing weak
This road that I must travel, this path that I must take,
this land that I must dwell in is my curse,
it is my shame
Come thou quickly, oh freedom light, let your
warm embrace give birth to my sight,
for I am waiting for you to take my side
I feel it getting closer, the thirst is almost quenched,
I can almost feel the water, in it I must be drenched
Fire, fire, fire, never leave me be, you fuel me to my goal, and hasten my destiny
