Alone in the Night

Martin Yan
Two roads diverged, but what if this road's chosen you?
The path's uncertain, and God forbid we walk alone.
But along the way we lose ourselves
And find we are miles apart from where we want to be.
Voices I hear but none utter peace,
And perhaps it's falling on deaf ears, but it's hard to hear
when the world's screaming at you--a little silence would do you good.
If you could just get through this night, the light will break through soon.

When did barely surviving become life and
when did this path become a valley?
How do you walk when you cannot feel and
where do you go when you didn't begin?
My eyes are wide open but throw me a line
Because the darkness surrounding
offers no signs.
If you could just get through this night, the light will break through soon.

Just know there was never any courage
without the sense of need or want or fear
Nor has a man ever hope without first
wrestling through despair.
Stand still to reason, and direct yourself to
the little candles above that even darkness cannot hide.
They will keep shining to remind you that
If you could just get through this night, the light will break through soon.
