Oh, darkened skies, don't hide the dawn

For I long to see nights end.

The sunrise rescues me from my fears

As the darkness is not my friend.

A fog of depression hangs low in my valley

While I anxiously await the sun.

To dry the tears that adorn my cheeks

From the tracks down which they'd run.

I feel responsible for all that’s wrong

Though I know that I cannot be.

And even as I think things through

The blame, I still lay, on me.

People try to pretend they care

And lift me from my gloom.

But through the crowd I realize

I’m alone in this mass filled room.

So, I beg you clouds, let the light shine in

Make my demons depart for a while.

I know come dusk they will return

And a frown will replace my false smile.
