lyrics

I hear voices in the night
When the silences are deep
I know that you’re all right
When you sing yourself to sleep

Sometimes the night is hard to face
It seems to last so long
But the darkness is made beautiful
By the night bird’s song

[chorus]
May the shadows all around you
Never swallow you completely
Though I know how deep your sorrow goes
May you always sing sweetly

Once we all were courageous
Weren’t afraid of anything
But as time goes by it wears you down
It makes it hard to sing

So I hope as you grow older
When things are going wrong
You can reach down deep inside you
And find your song

[chorus]

Sometimes I can almost understand it
I hear your words and rejoice
Sometimes I just want to close my eyes
And listen to your voice

In the morning when the air
Is still and quiet all around
May you be able to recall
The dark night’s sounds

[chorus]
