The Way Back - Jekyll

JEKYLL:

Somehow I have to get back

To the place where my journey started

Find the course I charted

When I first departed!

Somehow I have to hang on

To the vision that first inspired me

To the hope that fired me

When the world admired me!

I’ll find a way back to the higher ground

And see the view I saw before!

I’ll search the world

Until the answer’s found —

Turn my despair around

Forevermore!

Somehow I’ve got to rebuild

All the dreams that the winds have scattered

From what fate has shattered —

I’ll retrieve what mattered!

Somehow I’ve got to go on

Till the evil has been defeated —

Till my works completed —

I will not be cheated!

God, you must help me carry on!

When it seems all hopes has gone

I have got to carry on!
