The sun was shining very bright
In my very darkest night
The stars' they misaligned
The moon I simply couldn't find
Left frozen on that August day
A blizzard of emotions in the way
Amongst the pain and agony
I found myself on bended knee
No longer able to stand
Buried in your life's sand
So now on my belly I'll crawl
Banging my head against the wall
Knowing I'll never see the light
This situation I can not fight
For you see our darkest hour
That leaves us all to cower
Rarely ever comes at night
It attacks when the day is bright
So sleeping with that gun under your pillow
Won't stop the winds of change that billow
