hear the tale of a fallen people
destined to wander their broken land
their eyes are vacant, full of empty meaning
what they're missing they just don't understand

(Chorus 1)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising to show us the way

long ago a secret treasure was given
to change the heart of every woman and man
but somehow the treasure was forgotten
it lies buried underneath the shifting sand

(Chorus 2)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising up with the bright dawn of healing
rising up to show us the way

our eyes are not seeing
our hearts are not feeling
we want to believe now
come save us from ourselves

(Chorus 3)
beyond the dark horizon
out where the people are dying
the Son of man will be rising
the glory of the Lord will be shining

shatter the dark horizon
out where the people are crying
a Morningstar will be rising
rising to show us the way
