Mother of Darkness, I'm the Child of the Night,
lead me out of the shadows, lead me into the light.
I walk through the darkness on the path before me,
with stumbling steps for the path I can't see.
No end can I find for the trials I face,
I move through the night, I don't know this place.
The future is clouded by darkness and mist,
while I'm held in the grip of times unyielding fist.
Time is the trial it passes so slow,
when speed is what's needed it won't let me go.
Till time is what I need then it speeds out of sight,
and clicks off the minutes with the speed of light.
Father of darkness as you pass in the night,
remember my name, remember my plight.
I know you are out there, I know you are near,
I can't see your face, but your voice I can hear.
You tell me I'm lost, I tell you I know,
I say show me the way, you say you can't let me go.
Then tell me why am I here, to wander alone,
will I find the light again, find my way home.
It's a trial you say of hardship and strife,
the trial I tell you I've faced most my life.
You say it's not over till in my mind the answer's born,
but I tell you I can't think anymore, I'm tired and I'm worn.
I'm the child of darkness, I move in the night,
I look for the answer, but I'm blind to the light.
I seek only freedom, the freedom to live,
to take what's inside me and be able to give.
Mother of darkness lead me out of the night,
open my eyes, show me the light.
I seek only peace, but peace I can't find,
to live in peace with myself, at peace with my mind.
Father of darkness please show me the way,
out of the darkness, let me know there's still day.
I seek only love, a love that's not there,
a love that eludes me, a love I can share.
Mother of darkness, Father of the night, I come to you,
I seek only friendship, a friendship that's true.
I'm the child of darkness, child of the night,
I'm tired and worn but I keep up the fight.
I seek only strength, the strength to endure,
till I find freedom and peace and a friendship that's sure.
