[00:08.10]If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see,
[00:16.72]And there's a place at the table that you saved for me.
[00:24.47]So many thousand miles over land and sea,
[00:32.39]I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer,
[00:40.39]And somehow I'll be there.
[00:44.27]
[00:48.50]It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay,
[00:56.66]And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay.
[01:04.77]But there's a shaft of light where I count my days,
[01:12.92]So don't despair of the empty chair,
[01:20.49]And somehow I'll be there.
[01:24.38]
[01:26.32]Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak,
[01:31.39]And days I'm so broken I can barely speak,
[01:37.13]There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam,
[01:43.19]Where somehow I've come home.
[01:47.31]
[01:48.96]And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare,
[01:56.54]And you just stare out the window in the darkness there.
[02:03.50]Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear,
[02:12.60]But keep my place and the empty chair,
[02:20.12]And somehow I'll be there,
[02:26.44]And somehow I'll be there.
