When the night comes around
And I can’t tell the way up from down
It’s a cold sky
Above this heart of mine
And this feeling I know
Strange the way it comes and it goes
It’s like the moonlight
Only sometimes
All these walls I built to keep myself from hurting
Or maybe I’ve forgotten how to feel
I know that I should be a lamp that’s burning
But it’s just the way that my heart seems to be
Oh light of the morning
Come, shine in my soul again
It’s been miles on the road
Yet I know that you won’t let me go
It’s your kindness that will lead me home
And the stars with their light
Leaking through the cracks in the sky
Like a memory of a better time
Well I caught a glimpse but only for a moment
Or were the stars there only in my dreams?
I want to feel the summer and the sunrise
But it’s just the way that my heart seems to be
Oh light of the morning
Come, shine in my soul again
You won’t break a reed though it bends to the ground
You still fill a vessel though the water pours out
You won’t quench a fire that’s withering down
But where are you now?
Though the water rises and threatens to drown
The roaring waves will heed your voice when they hear the sound
In stillness and in reverence like weapons laid down
Lord, I need you now
