Oh! Heaven knows the truth
all the sorrow and the trouble I’ve gone through
Only heaven knows the truth
all the painful paths I have taken to reach you
The road is full of dust, my load is getting hard to bear
No one believes in me
no one ever said the words I want to hear
I must have walked thousands of miles
‘cos my clothes are torn and my body is full of wounds
Will I see you at dawn? Will you come and take my hand?
Oh! help me carry that load
it’s been bending my back for too long
Someday I’ll lay down on the sun
with your sweetness and your tenderness by my side
Will you offer me some wine? Will you rescue this old heart?
Oh! Heaven knows the truth
how I struggled to get by and reach you
Yes, my shoes have walked thousands of miles
And my clothes are torn and my body is full of wounds …
