I Will Find a Way (The Song of Emmanuel)

At the end of this rundown tenement hall
Is the room of a girl I know
And she cowers behind all the deadbolt locks
Afraid of the outside world
How should I come to the one I love
I will find a way
Many thieves and collectors have used that door
But they only brought her shame
So she won't even open it any more
Still I will find a way
I could call out her name with love through the walls
But condemnation is all she hears
I could break down the door and take her into my arms
But she might die from the fear
So how should I come to the one I love
I will find a way
I will find a way
How should I come to the one I love
I will find a way
No hiding place ever kept her safe
So she hides inside herself
Now to reach her heart the only way
Is to hide in there as well
Oh I will hide in there as well
She gave up on love waiting for a change
But a change is coming soon
'Cause how could she not love the helpless babe
Who is waking in her womb.
I found a way
I found a way
She'll know I am coming before I am here
When she hangs her head, she'll see me there
And then when I come, she won't run away
All the beauty and joy will return to her face
And what of the loneliness, now it is gone
Lost in the bond of mother and son
Every sin that she suffered at the hands a man
Every single disgrace will be washed clean again
I will love her completely, and when I am grown
I will carry her out of that tenement home
I'm doing something and soon you will be
I'm coming among you, and my name shall be
Emmanuel
Emmanuel
And I have come to take you home
