When the city falls asleep And the lights are all turned off There’s a weeping you can hear Of a mother Of a child Of a soldier Of a heart The weeping is prolonged It torments me to compare The tears that are being shed To the thousands of stars on the evening sky And how unfortunate for the moon To have to witness such a fool Writing so late at night But this is something I cannot miss A tear is often taken for granted But many at once is such a bliss It gives me hope It fills me with faith That people feel at night Even if they hide behind a mask during the day

Alive at Night
When the city falls asleep And the lights are all turned off There’s a weeping you can hear Of a mother Of a child Of a soldier Of a heart The weeping is prolonged It torments me to compare The tears that are being shed To the thousands of stars on the evening sky And how unfortunate for the moon To have to witness such a fool Writing so late at night But this is something I cannot miss A tear is often taken for granted But many at once is such a bliss It gives me hope It fills me with faith That people feel at night Even if they hide behind a mask during the day
