Don’t Wait for the Night to Find You

My Father said I shouldn’t fear
The darkness I love to deal in down here,
As long as, my son, you don’t start
To become part.
Walk into and shed some shine,
You might just find some lost friends of mine,
Out of the woodwork and half-alive
Lost souls that search and strive
For someone to hold on to and steady
The lives that they said they’ve given already.

Don’t wait for the night to find you,
Search out the lonely and lend a hand,
Show them we care and spark a flame,
Then they’ll start their own and do the same.
There’s not enough time to sit in Park
For them that live in the dark.
Get in the froth and in the fray,
And go and light the way.
