To Sit All Alone

I sit so alone in the chill of the night I feel in my heart a hand takes a hold How is it so that I feel this great fright This fear isn't young, this fear is quite old All of the dreams crying at midnight, told Oh how I'm sad, so alone in this dark Let the flame in my heart, yield and ignite To begin my journey, too timid to embark. To walk each step, to blur out of sight To hold to the words that I said all so bold To bow in my heart, my soul is contrite How easy it was, my ambitions I sold I sat there lonely, not to be controlled Oh how I'm sad, so alone in this dark I can not control this, this horrible fright I must not allow myself not to embark. I rejected your counsel, your words of insight With my arms crossed, eyes I but rolled How can I grasp the essence of light When paranoid actions tend to enfold The uncertain man with a touch all too cold I must not be sad, so alone in the dark For I can control this, this horrible fright I will take these few steps, now I'll embark I say this hopefully for my fear has been told I hope more who sit, so alone in the dark Will open their eyes and look not so cold Will stand up and, dare to embark
