about

A night when mates who had promised to join me failed

lyrics

Loneliness is an empty place,
Misery has more than one face,
Look around at all the people who ask to meet you,
But you’re still alone,
Stare into their vacant eyes and realize
They don’t fill that void.

Waiting to lose a sense of despair,
Find someone to help you out of there,
Take their hand and you’ll understand
As they lead you to the door,
Hesitate and all is lost and you’ll count the cost
For ever more.

Don’t waste your time in searching someday you’ll lose the hurting,
It may creep up on you, but you’ll know what to do,
You don’t need permission just to sit and listen,
There’s a golden dawn around the corner for you.

Hope is born in your darkest hour,
Find belief and watch it flower,
Celebrate the joy you feel inside
You can’t deny yourself
All comes right if you win the fight and most importantly
You believe.
