May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home Mornie utulie Believe and you will find your way Mornie alantie A promise lives within you now May it be the shadow's call Will fly away May it be your journey on To light the day When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun Mornie utulie (darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now A promise lives within you now
