More Lyrics to A New Song
Here are the lyrics to the most recent song I've written, called A Lullabye for the Broken Heart.
Your night is long, the sun is slow in rising
This I know cause I hold every tear you've ever cried
And the answers you seek I am not free in providing
Even so, it's gets darker before dawn's saving light
But I know you'll see someday everything will be ok
Though the hour is far away, hold on til tomorrow
And if heartache greets you there, I'll shoulder all that you can't bear
You protest but this despair will all make sense
You'll understand someday
Your mind can't rest, you wrestle with this question:
If I love my child, why all the senseless pain?
If I'm good like I say, what then could be my intention
To allow such grief and not take it away?
Do you remember when you were a child
All those dark nights when you'd pray
Closing your eyes, you'd wish someone was there
So you wouldn't be afraid
You thought I never heard you
Or turned a deaf ear to your cry
But it was I who gave you slumber and sang this lullabye
Remember? You'll see, someday everything will be ok
Though the hour is far away, hold on til tomorrow
And if heartache greets you there, I'll shoulder all that you can't bear
You protest but this despair will all make sense, you'll understand some day
Oh....one thing you need to know...you were never to blame

Yes, when I heard it, as you know, I cried. Cause I really wanted you to believe it.

it occurs to me that the night is really really long and that in a time before electricity and the light and warmth it brings it must have been pretty terrifying to get through it, especially if there were scary predators around, or horrible weather.
And that now our modern experience kind of robs us of an understanding of just how long and scary the night could be. Plus, we sleep through it.
I'm not really making a point, just an observation.
