Darkened Night
On this darkened night...
It's no wonder why the world can't see
This girl they never did meet.
She's running through the alley
She's running and her heart is racing
She knows not of where to hide
from the Pain.
The Pain is chasing after her,
Sucking her life away.
And on this darkened night
This girl continues to pray,
As she's fighting for the air,
"God hurry and bring upon the day"...
"God please stop the Pain before it's too late!"
The world is so blind
When it's the pain that's chasing her.
It's times like these
That I don't want to understand.
This girl is alone as she pleads
For any helping hand.
And it's things like this that always seem
to happen on a darkened night.
So the world can't see through a beautiful day.
What gives their soul a fright.
Still this girl needs someone
She's running out of places to run.
The pain gets closer and closer
Still she keeps praying for the sun.
And just as the day begins to break through
The pain did exactly what is sought out to do.
On this darkened night
It's no wonder why the world
would never meet
This girl who is now unable to breath
There was nobody around to stop the pain
On this darkened night
And to know that the world can't see
Darkness can be so scary
And everyone gets a turn to be
chased eventually
When my time is-
I don't want to know when
though I wish I did
So I could tell a friend.
I don't want to be alone
On my darkened night
Deep inside I know I'll be on my own
For this fight.
But when it's over
At least I know God will be on the other side
He'll be there to brighten up
What was once
A darkened night.
And in this place
I'll be able to still breath
In God's world...
What we know as heaven
The pain will never reach me.
And in this world
There will be no wondering why
Why the world can't see
For there's only happiness in heaven-
No pain will ever again
Be chasing me
On a darkened night.
