As the days pass
From dusk to dawn
I count the minutes
And the hours
'Til you come home again

And it's oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

Give me strength
Lord, give me strength

As the years pass
From frost to thaw
I count the days
And the months
'Til I go home again

And it's oh so long to wait
I lack the patience
Give me strength
Lord, give me strength
