Lights out
Good night
The sun has set
The night time hour
Has descended upon us
The night has come
The lights are gone
Lost in the night
When the lights first go out
It can be hard to see
Sometimes we can stumble along
Not knowing where we need to go
Tripping over and stumbling
Over any obstacle in our way
After a while
Our night vision kicks in
And we start to see farther
The night starts getting brighter
The obstacles in our way
Become more clear
We get to the point
Where we can navigate
Through the night
With relative ease
Life is a lot like
Switching the lights off
When things are the brightest
Some time we can stumble along
Not really knowing
Which way we should be going
Tripping over every obstacle
That trips us up
Or that falls in our way
But its once we have been in the dark
For a little bit of time
When we start to become
More adept at navigating the night
Learning to trust our night vision
Trusting our instincts instead of our eyes
Learning to trust the inner primal knowing
That guides you through those dark ravines
That guides you through those dark points
Learn to trust that night vision
That inner knowing
The inner faith
That will lead you through
The darkest night
When the light go out
