Verse 1:
I have been hedged in by thorns on every side
I have been burned by your jealous flame
I have been tested by your fire
I have chased my other lovers
I have been turned away
As I ache with desire
I will stand and say
Chorus 1:
I will return to my first love
I will return to the one who loves me
I will return to my true love
I will return to the one who loves me
Chorus 2:
You find me in the night
Hold me in the night
Open up my eyes
You open up my eyes
Verse 2:
I have been wounded by your perfect love
I have been slain in the desert place
I have been pursued and overcome
I have chased my other lovers
I have been turned away
As I ache with desire
I will stand and say
Chorus 3:
And the sun will rise
And the sun will rise
And the sun will rise
And the sun will rise
