Midnight, the deepest, darkest of night.

Cold, quiet, ebony silence.

Today is gone, just slipped away,

and I now must choose.

do I stay in midnights darkness,

or slowly step toward the dawns light?

One step back, that's all I have to take

one step back, into the warm soft soothing

darkness, or one step forward,

slowly carefully into a new day,

its time, and it is my choice to make.

If I step back, will you remember me with love?

Will you remember the good times,

the happy times, or will you only remember the

mistakes I made, the times I failed,

will you forgive me, as I forgave you?

If I step back,

will you remember me with love?

I ask you these questions, for I need to know,

but I must tell you, I can't step back.

I want to, Oh Dear God, I want to.

I want to step back, hide in the darkness,

savor the silence, feel no pain, no

heartache, no disappointment.

It's midnight in my heart, my soul,

but I can't stay here,

I can't step back,

so I've no choice but to go on.

But treat me with kindness,

the way I treat you, respect me ,

as I respect you.

Share a smile, a tear,

listen when I talk to you,

as I listen to you.

Yes, in Midnights Silence our soul

runs free, our thoughts are deep,

our doubts multiply and mountains

are built that are insurmountable.

But with the dawn of a new day,

the glorious sunrise,

the song of a bubbling brook,

our hearts, our souls, renew,

fill with hope, and the will ,

the firm resolve, to try, again

at least one more time,

to be all that we can be.
