The lyrics
I was tired, I struggled
I suffered, I was lost
I’m taking hold of my life, I’m done, I’m getting up
I’m done, I’m getting up
My heart is ready
I’m aware and I accept
That it won’t be easy on this road
I’m about to take
This road I’m about to take
Let me remember even if I make mistakes
I am precious
Let me remember that I have a reason
I am treasure
I have a purpose on earth
Take my hand toward healing
Take my hand toward peace
Take my hand toward calm waters
Take my hand to Isuarsivik
Take my hand to Isuarsivik
Take my hand to Isuarsivik
