Out of the single life into the family way
So many scripted lines, so many roles to play
Ever a pressure pressing, ever an undertow
Why do the ties you've chosen slowly pull you low?
Over the things we love into the still unknown
I had a dream last night I was finally left alone
Nothing to tie me down, no one to kiss goodnight
Never again to feel your whisper pull me to your side
And oh, an emotion cries
Oh, sing blessed be the ties
Under the veil he walks through the relentless chill
Ever to bear your grief, ever rejected still
Out of the deep He pulls you into the arms you trust
Nothing can separate us from the ties that bind to You
And oh, as your spirits rise
Oh, sing blessed be the ties
Stay with me, never let go
Take me to your side, am I dreaming
Oh, an emotion cries
Oh, sing blessed be the ties
Blessed be the ties
