Margaret Becker Light In The Darkness
Once upon a moonless night
I dreamed my world was one small room
A thousand books of stories told
All were black but one was gold
I took the Book from off the shelf
And held it to my frozen self
A war within my spirit raged
Through drops of salt on every page
And my body was breaking
For the words He was saying
Be a light in the darkness
Be a heart to the heartless
When the world's lost its meaning
Be the one who will still go on believing
Then once upon a windless night
Another dream in black and white
A gentle man of flesh and bone
He says this world is not our home
And my body was breaking
For the words He was saying
CHORUS
Though I was only dreaming
His words kept burning me
Over and over and over again
CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS
