You saw me at the gate of the world,
You washed my feet,
I knew you at the gate of the world,
Gave you something to eat,
The gentle waves washed over us,
Now here we are,
Leaning on our shepherd's staff and following a star,
We would have missed us if we hadn't come this far,
I'll love you at the gate of the world.

God healed me at the gate of the world,
Now I see again,
You were lonely at the gate of the world,
I am your friend,
The pulse of this great dying earth is in our ears,
And the wrong we've done, the wars we've fought, bring on the tears,
But we'll hold fast the faith and hope that brought us here,
Left us at the gate of the world.

The gentle waves washed over us,
Now here we are,
Leaning on our shepherd's staff and following a star,
We would have missed us if we hadn't come this far,
I'll love you at the gate of the world.

I dreamt of nations at the gate of the world laying down their guns,
And peace fell at the gate of the world on everyone,
And high upon a thousand hills the angels sang,
And understanding filled the heart of every man,
They knew that they would never pass this way again,
We're passing through the gate of the world.
