Hero’s in the Dark

 Hero’s are the people, who brave the dark

Get up each morning and live with heart

I walk fearlessly, alone and unafraid

Until on that morning, when I feel betrayed

Sadness is surrounding me, my spirit starts to die

Now I am feeling all the pain, I look to you and sight

My life is unfamiliar. A hero no more lives

Fear that I'm not worthy, I hope he can forgive

So the silence comes among us, I beg please let me see,

What am I to learn from you, or please just set me free

Just let me fall into the night, a wakeless sleep I seek

Laying in the tall the dark grass, I cry myself to sleep,

Mumbling words to god in pain, I ask why you left me

Falling in a peaceful sleep, no pain upon me face

Softly someone speaks to me, while holding me in grace     I hear the words spoke clearly; I have never left your side  

You go through times when life is good,

then feel like somethings died

When feeling lost, all alone, and all you do is cry,

Stop and look at me and I will be your guide

Life is never what you plan, your best is all I need

Remember there is something there; it’s bigger than you see

So deep in sleep I feel release, to my pain and suffering

Control obsession I know I have, finally is set free

I sleep right now in God’s lap, his arms around me tight

Protected, and I feel so loved, He kisses me goodnight

Until the time I understand the path in front of me,

I take a break and dream a dream of beauty that I see

When the time is right for me, God will show me how

For now I feel his love for me and love myself somehow

In my tears he takes my hand his message becomes so clear

Hero’s are people, who brave the night,

They are God’s soldiers. who carry the light

Hero’s are the people, that can never stay down

Hero’s are the people, sent by God’s own hand

I am a hero in the light, I am a hero who braves the night
