The morning comes
In morning bright
Cancelling out
The darkness
Of the night
Pushing thru
Into morning light.
New beginning
New delight
No more darkness
Of the night
All is fresh
Burning bright
Here
In the morning light.

There lies the reason that I cry
No, not the one you’d think
But the reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Whenever I smile
Laugh and go ahead
Something in the back
Holds oh so much
Awful, awful dread.
Makes me cry
Makes me shed
Tears not of happiness
But
Those of monster dread.
Seek and find the reason
That I cry
Seek and find the reason
I feel like I want to die
When I think
Of that dreadful reason
That makes me cry and cry.
Bring it to the open
Expose it to the light
No more hidden
In the darkness of tear light.
Change those tears
And cry’s of sadness
To ones crying
In ecstasy and delight
My life will then not be hidden
In the darkness of tear light.

The sun shone bright
Cancelling out the dark of night
All sadden thoughts washed away
Down the drain of yesterday.
New focus being
On those things right
Guide us through
With sunlight
To safe harbour
Tucked in for tonight.
Born on this day
All better to celebrate
A life brought in time
When the sun shone bright
Cancelling out the dark of night.

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

Spirit glowing, burning bright
Threading through the dark of night.
Touching many with power’s might
Spreading darkness with clear, bright light
Bringing joy, making right.
May I know the kind and gentle
Guiding me through awful night.
Feel the glowing spirit bright.
