Darkness of the night

I face the cold wind.
I face the times and tides of man.
Alone in the shadow
Of a dry, barren land.

And in the blur of motion
That shoves the soul from day to endless day
In the great commotion
I have lost what you say.

Then I call out your name
In the darkness of the night.
You reach out and hold me tight.
And even in the shadows
And the places I can't see
Your love reaches through to me.

Like the hungry children
Afraid to try to find a way back home
I run away from where
I still belong.

I can't explain it
I can't begin to understand
But even when i walk away
You're still holding my hand.

Then I call out your name
In the darkness of the night.
You reach out and hold me tight.
And even in the shadows
And the places I can't see
Your love reaches through to me.
