Dark to Light

The dark of night...hopelessness has descended on your heart.
Pain, doubt, confusion...feeling there is no way out.
Your spirit is restless, your soul feels lost......
You don't know where to go......or where to turn.
You feel so lost and alone.

Where am I?  Who am I?  What do I want?
All questions you are asking.
How did I get here?  What happened to me...was there ever a me?
Where and how do I go from here?
You ask your heart and soul; but hear only echoes of your own voice
As if in a cave...empty and hollow.

Your fears are real....like a frightened deer in headlights
Your confusion keeping you from knowing just which way to go.
The darkness is enveloping, your pain like a shroud.
It seems that all within and without is a labyrinth of chaos...
And you'll never find your way out.

Never means forever and forever goes on and on.
Time will heal all your wounds, and remove your fears and doubts.
Pain and confusion will disappear, your questions will all be answered.
The sun will rise...and darkness fade into a bright new day.
Your heart will heal, your soul rejoice, and happiness will prevail.

All these things, as you have said, you  must do on your own,
But on your own does not mean you have to be alone.
So while the storm is raging and lonely darkness prevails,
Reach out and take my hand and you won't feel so alone.
Hand in hand and heart to heart we'll walk this scary road.

I'll be there, right  beside you, never leaving all the way,
A hand to hold, an ear to listen, a heart to care, and a shoulder to lay your weary head on.
A soul to touch, tears to fall along with yours, and a smile to say, you're special, and I'm not going away.
Myself is all I have to give, and I hope that's enough,
Your happiness means more to me than I can ever say.
