NIGHT LIGHT By Tom Jensen
Well I believe that I came to you
In pursuit of my search
For truth and light
And that love of life
Can see me through...
Through this on my darkest day
Through this deep haze
Rather than be washed away
By a crushing wave
Reseeding my belief
That hard work pays off some day
All souls can and will be saved
Rather than be led astray
I don't joke when trapped
By a cloud of smoke
Because some people think
That our world is their own ashtray
If we all stop and take
A deep long breath...
(pause)
We can either blow it up
Or blow it all away...
Then we can see the sun
Let the world unite as one
Feeling like children again
Then we can go run off and play
Just like we did back in the day
Prozac people's kids no longer cry
We just hear their sighs
Perhaps that's why I find
That I cry all the time
So rather than just turn my head
And cough in jest
Seeing a big, old, bloody mess
Yes, I guess I must here confess:
Sometimes I don't reveal
When I cry my tears of joy inside
That's when I feel the most alive
It's my bright, nightlight
That I just won't let die...
So once again that's why
That I believe that I came to you
In pursuit of my search
For truth and light
And that our love of life
Can see us through...
