I lay awake, this dreary night
This dreamy state of being
I lay awake, and pray aloud
Each thought that I am feeling
I pray unto the moonlight
And to the hidden sun
It shall rise in but short time
And a new prayer has begun
But tonight I pray upon the stars
Grant me love again
Grant me happy family
And grant me loving friends
I pray unto the light
That has creeked beneath my door
I pray unto the rain
And the sounds I most adore
I pray unto this midnight
This blank and desperant moment
Grant me passage, through my life
And I shall be content
I'd rather not explain my thoughts
Or just what do I feel
I couldn't explain them, to myself
Knowing they are real
But either way I pray again
To what I'd never know
Just bid me gracious thoughts again
In a life that lurks below
I pray unto the dripping rain
The shadows upon the wall
I pray aloud, to everything
And wait for returning calls
But getting none, I'll still resume
And pray unto the light
Shining, through, an openend door
I pray unto midnight
