Your Journey Stars at Midnight.

I'm proud to say I've come a long way

from stumbling through the briars,

stuck in the overgrown brambles

It was nothing more than I could handle,

though I did not know that then

with a heavy mind I waded past questions with no ends

where I'm short of answers,

I am not of faith

so I raised my hands, and I closed my eyes

 

and walked into my fate

 

I'm proud to say I made it through

though I did not come out alone

I met this place with who I was

and with the me I've wanted to know

we are one in the same.

waxing and waning and rising above,

we are the midnight flame.

Though I can never be her of the past

she shadows me as I take this path

of new hope, new strength, new solitude.

faces on the moon.
