Alone in the Dark

Alone in the dark I wait for the light

To show me where I belong

I can't find my way until it is day

But the darkness is lasting so long

 

The things that I see in the darkness

Shadows are tempting the light

But there's nothing to fear for I'm used to it hear

And your day will still be my night

 

Born in this world of silent screams

I can't even see my own tears

Try to understand I see with my hand

The darkness has held me for years

 

I wish someone would turn on the light

And let me taste what it's like to be free

But for now I am found in this world made of sound

Hoping that one day I'll see

 

Alone in the dark I wait for the light

Just a glimpse I'm praying to find

But I'm trapped in this hell with touch, sound and smell

For that's what it's like to be blind
