The night is dark and lonesome too
I toss and turn and wonder who
Besides myself senses unrest
No matter if I do my best,
I really try so very hard
To conquer fear and trust in God
Seems like this world is so intense
There’s no room left for self defense !
Oh how I love to hear the rain
It helps me feel so whole again
And when raindrops splash on my face
I think I could win any race.
I’m sure it’s best when all is mist
You feel as though you’re being kissed
Caressed by unseen angels there
Who show us each how much they care.
The rain is like the precious touch
Of all that’s gone we miss so much
I wish that I might just reach out
To give a hug, a squeeze, a shout,
Most rain reminds me what I’ve lost
My Lord You know the price it cost !
I can’t imagine what to think
The world we knew is on the brink
The powers that be are paralyzed
Too many here are traumatized.
We’re in a bind and can’t get out
No matter how we rale or shout
So sad that time’s not on our side
When we have issues to decide.
Let’s run our goals on super fast
And pray that God will help it last
We need peace now, make no mistake
Whate’er we do, win, lose or break !
