The Gospel According To Darkness

I know there's a place that you call your own

And you're safe and warm and you feel like yo're home

And the peace of it and the faith involved

And you go to say...but there's no need to explain it

Still you try then you see that it's okay. you're on your own

I see you lookin' around at the people on the street

Well, things aren't what they seem.

If you push them hard enough

You'll find that most of them do not feel worthy of love

Now how did this come to be?

Oh, my sweet darlin' *yes?* look at me. you're telling me you can't pierce

The darkness into the light? *yes.* can you see me? *no, ican't...*

Can you see the figure standing on your right? *nobody. it's just

Darkness...*

*it's just darkness...* come on, i know you understand. *i'm trying...*

Love will you let us know when it's time

When we can leave this darkness behind?

Oh, my sweet sweet darlin' *wait...* what? you know when you open up your

Eyes?

*i'm afraid there won't be anyone there.* i'm beaming you all this light.

*wait.*

*something's happening...* who is it? *i'm holding my sweet mama in my arms*

Is she dying? *no, i think she's just been born and she looks so...sweet...*

I know there's a place that you can call your own...*and she looks so

Hopeful*

And you're safe and warm...*and she looks so...trusting*

And you feel like you're home...*she doesn't know how hard...*

I see you lookin' around at the people on the street

Well, things aren't what they seem.

If you push hard enough

You'll find that most of them do not feel worthy of love

Now how did this come to be?

I know there's a place that you call your own
