A whisper in the night

A whisper in the night


 Even though
The night is mine

Like the African doe
Who hides behind 
The bushes in the nighttime

In the Kigali

Every breath you take
Every step you make

Even if the moon longer rises
Or the sun goes out

I will be at your side

If you lose hope
With nothing left to cope

I will be at your side

If your life seems empty whilst others seem to have plenty

Pray to me to appear
To wipe away those tears

For I will be at your side

If you need space and time 
To clear your mind

If you need to feel pain
To be reborn again

I will be at your side

If Fate brings you SAD gifts 
Like seasonal affective disorders

From all known states
Or borders

Or people filled with and preaching hate

Call to me
And I will be at your side

For your life is but a brief whisper 

A quick ride in my Ether

A tiny dot on my ethereal map

A made-up wheel
Created by the Babylonians and Egyptians

That can steal all you feel

So know
Your life was never made to live alone

Driven by a ticking wheel

Call to me 
To atone

And I will be at your side
In a flash 

Before your world turns to ash

So my Keeper of the Sacred Keys

Peter 
Can welcome you home
To a wonderful land 

Where you're never alone 
But with all your family and beloved friends

And free spirits as all animals roam

Remember to call to me
So I can be at your side

I'm sure you know my name
For I'm also a child

A son of a God sent to guide
All things in his Ether 

Which collide 

Even the sinful
Who have lied

But more so 
For those who souls
Who have cried

Call to me
For dear reader
Faith always provides
