Songs in the Night

Shouting in the dark
Screaming in the night
Howling in the silence
Tensing for a fight

Steeling for the blow
Cowering in fear
Reeling from the thought
There is no friend here

Summoning up hope
Longing for release
Recalling the days
Of life lived in peace

Calling out to God
Telling him my plight
Listening in pain
For songs in the nigh
