Pulling against the tide, rowing   Heart praying, thought flowing   Until the oars touch the ground of Hinba      Pushing against the eastern wind   Salt that bleeds into the skin   Looking over your shoulder to Hinba      This is where you prayed   And Heaven's light shone down   This is where you sang the angel song   Rising higher, rising higher to beyond      Morning comes in glorious light   Sea reflecting calm and bright   And the song still rises from the island      Here you came to make your fast   Prayed for mercy 'til at last   You heard the word, you waited for      This is where you prayed   And Heaven's light shone down   This is where you sang the angel song   Rising higher, rising higher to beyond      This is where you prayed   And Heaven's light shone down   This is where you sang the angel song   Rising higher, rising higher, rising higher to beyond
