The night has not been kind to me
I cannot wait till dawn I see
The darkness seems to o’erpower me
I feel my faith and courage flee.
The demons charge my aching heart
I need to seek a brand new start
One I may join and take some part
To help the gloom and fear depart.
Today I hope to try once more
I’ll gather strength for my encore
I’ll pick myself up off the floor
I’ll try to open that last door !
