It took a power outage for me to see the light Of what it is I am really like To hear the words that you said without the noise I could listen close, without distraction of toys I saw the darkness of how I felt surround me The candle that you lit, so profound within me Safety, security, as well as desire Lit so lovingly by that fire
It took a power outage for me to release pent up fear To see that you are so very near Never so far away as I sometimes believe You are here, here with me You hold my darkness, always at bay To keep me happy, chase the blues away I never saw this until the lights went out When I made the darkness become my doubt
That same darkness that you made light
