Goodbye Darkness
Goodbye darkness I can't stay
You've done your job
Took my hope away
I came to visit once again
But couldn't let myself stay to the end
I tried to live among your walls
And let myself feel every fall
Every hurtful word you said
Did its part, filled me with dread
Made me longing to be dead
But I decided there and then
To never wake up in the dark again
To the blackness that you are
And instead stay with my shining star
The light of her became so dim
While I was trying to be your friend
She lost her shimmer and her shine
But she found me in the nick of time
When I had reached the end of the line
I knew I had to let you go
For your darkness was just too cold
And there was nothing left for me to hold
Although I gave in to the bleak
She picked me up when I was weak
She put my feet back on the ground
Filled my ears with the sweetest sounds
Words of Love instead of pain
Felt like sunshine through the rain
Took my hand and held it tight
Guided me back to her light
Never knew I could return
For in the dark you're easily burned
That cloak of black weighs a ton
It can be as deadly as a gun
The light is there but hard to see
For those who see the world like me
