Darkness you were once my friend
Whispering that all would be alright
Sitting still late at night
And yet...
Darkness you were once my friend
I never knew that you could lie
I once raised my voice in song
Sitting there in darkness, hiding
I had joy then
Darkness my friend
You hid me until the sun rose
On yet another day
I believed you
When you said I was made for something more
When I longed, ached for someone to hold me tight
You hid me in your darkness, telling me, that all would be alright.
Now darkness my friend,
I am afraid to raise my voice in song
There are no ivory keys to play
No joy
I was made for something more than this
Oh how I wish I could believe your lies
Age is catching up now
Wisdom comes with age
Darkness, you hid me when I was young
When I watched the stars..and believed
You hid me in times of fear and regret
Darkness of the night I still believed even then
Down the path I have trod
Missed the paths to hidden dreams
Followed someone else's beat
Darkness, where are the songs that you said I would sing?
