Light Up My Darkness

An ode to brighter days

Light Up My Darkness

I’m looking to the sky and waiting for the sun to touch down.

Patiently waiting for the sunlight to hit the ground.

Rain rain go away while you’re at it take the snow away.

The world is cold enough, slippery and tough.

Until the light from the sun peeks out and hits the ground surface.

Everyone will believe that life is worthless.

From sundown to sun up we want to know our purpose.

No UV lights. Tell Mother Nature to pull back the curtains.

Until light peaks from the crowd my woes will feel the hardest.

I need the sun to touch down and light up my darkness.
