It’s dark outside and inside too
So dark in fact, that I can’t see You
I know You’re here because my papa told me
We read about You in a story
You are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Three-in-one seems strange, but we should not fear it
Right now black is all I see
I can’t see you, can you see me?
My mama said you’re here, but where?
It’s dark and my feet are bare
I pray and pray and pray some more
Is that you knocking at the door?
Can you hear me? I’m talking to you
It’s dark and my left side won’t move
It’s still dark in here, what should I do?
I’m starting to lose hope in You
All I want to do is flee
It’s dark and I’m so lonely
Father, Son, are you there?
It’s getting darker and I’m scared
Holy Spirit, is that you?
Are you with me in this room?
Somehow, the blackness is getting darker
I hear my family cry harder and harder
It feels like an eternity
This darkness has surrounded me
I try to open my eyes one more time
I pray to God to bring me light
When I finally open them…
I see a man with open hands
Luna, Luna, you’re alright
In the darkness and the light
I am right here next to you
Even in the darkest room
What you failed to notice, dear
Through the darkness I was there
Your eyes were open but you could not see
The light you were searching for IS Me
Close your eyes one more time
Listen closely to this rhyme:
Tell me, have you ever watched the sunrise?
It happens right before your eyes
Always darkest before the dawn
Then suddenly the dark is gone
The same is true right now, you see
It’s dark, but only momentarily
Soon you will wake up and realize
I am working right before your eyes
Do you hear your mama singing?
Through her voice, hope, I am bringing
Do you hear your papa strumming?
His guitar in sync with your heart beat drumming
Do you feel that peace inside?
Prayers are being sent worldwide
My spirit moves through all those praying
So remember me when music is playing
It’s time to open up your eyes once more
Walk, or crawl, until you find a door
Remember that the dark is simply fear
But fear not, for I am here
The stories your parents told are true
I am ALWAYS here with you
The path before you is bumpy and long
I will test you, so remember to be strong
I will work more miracles in and through your life
Through you, people will see my light
This was my plan all along
You are weak, but I am strong
Your story will show those who don’t believe
The power that prayer can bring
Through faith and hope and love and grace
One day, many years from now, you will see my face
