Song for Canaan

Inside the night
Across the holy river
When you arrived
A promise was delivered
I waited for you
Dreaming away all the while
How I adore you
My lovely little child
For you I'll fight
I'd face a thousand armies
I'll hold the light
And nothing can disarm me
I waited for you
Dreaming away all the while
How I adore you
My lovely little child
