Hour of Darkness
Copyright 24 January 1998
By Amaranth Rose
(Theres a tune)
When Im in my darkest hours,
And shadowed darkness overpowers,
Theres a force that strengthens me
And helps me carry through.
When pain is overwhelming me,
Threatening to destroy me,
Strength from somewhere down inside
Gets me through the day.
When fever wracks my tortured brain,
Makes me fear Ill go insane,
Courage swells from deep within
And brings me through again.
Nightmares furies rend my mind
Leaving my soul slashed and blind,
Serenity sweeps them all aside,
Restoring peace again.
Perhaps someday Ill walk in light,
Leave behind this endless night,
For Ive been through the crucible,
Perhaps Ive earned the right.
