At Midnight Songtext

von Anne Clark

At midnight
I awoke
And looked up to the heavens;
No star in the teeming firmament
Smiled upon me
At midnight.

At midnight
My thoughts stretched out
Into the furthest reaches of darkness
No image of light
Brought me consilation
At midnight.

At midnight
I heeded the beat of my heart;
A single throb of pain
Was roused
At midnight.

At midnight
I fought the battle
Of humanity, of your suffering;
I could not resolve it
With all my might
At midnight.

At midnight
I yeilded all my might
Into your hand;
Lord over death and life,
You stand guard
At midnight.
