Lyrics At Midnight - Anne Clark

At Midnight

At midnight
I awoke
And look up to the heavens
No star on the teeming firmament
Smiled upon me
At midnight
At midnight
My thoughts stretched out
Into the furthest reaches of darkness
No image of light
Brought me consolation
At midnight
At midnight
I heeded the beat of my heart;
A single throb of pain was roused
At midnight
At midnight
I fought the battle of humanity, of your suffering;
I could not resolve it with all my might
At midnight
At midnight
I yeilded all my might into your hand:
Lord over death and life,
You stand guard
At midnight.
