In the dark, alone
With only night as a friend
My face must have shown
With tears finally shed
But cried as I might
The pain would not cease
Held through the whole fight
It had finally unleashed
Clutching to my soul
The hurt would not go
As my tears kept to roll
In this night of sorrow
But as my depression
Continued its recession
Into the infinite hollow
A beam did I spy
And though run did I try
The light, merely followed
At last, tired of the chase
I slowed my pace
To see why the light pursued
And to my surprise
It was not my demise
That sought my gloomy mood
The light was a savior
A liberator with the key
To take some of my labor
And pain away from me
And who put up this fight?
Why, my own caring friends
Who bathed me in light-
Now my darkness forever ends.

As my tears kept to roll
In this night of sorrow
But as my depression
Continued its recession

At last, tired of the chase

To see why the light pursued
And to my surprise

A liberator with the key
To take some of my labor
And pain away from me
And who put up this fight?
Why, my own caring friends
Who bathed me in light-
Now my darkness forever ends.
