Lyrics

Oh Holy Land Come Ancient Spirit Take up my hand And guide me

Pull me to shore Rivers are rising Look in this heart And find me

I’ve lost my way Your voice is silent I need you here To remind me

Show me now How to find my home All I am Surrender

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

Fought by your side Ashes still burning I proved my worth So tell me why

I’ve lost my way Your voice is silent I need you here To remind me

Show me now How to find my home All I am Surrender

Tell me that you can forgive (Won’t you tell me) Bring me peace that I may live (O———)

Show me now How to find my home All I am Surrender

(Oh sweet rest) Oh sweet rest Find me at my home Stay with me Forever

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

Trivia

• The "Holy Land" and "Ancient Spirit" mentioned in the lyrics may be referring to the series' equivalent of Heaven and God respectively.
• A letimotif of the song plays during the cutscene at the end of Celestial Caves, before being quickly replaced by the level's theme again. Oddly, it plays in a part completed unrelated to the dragon elders, Ignitus included, who would be mentioned sometime later in the scene.
• The song is popular on YouTube. It has spawned many videos, most of them featuring Spyro and Cynder, but it has also found its way in to other themed videos.
