Go beyond the night
Through the darkness
To welcome them
The shining morning and
The rain and rainbow
I’ll go welcome them all now
If I create a dark, dark, dark room
And close my eyes, I won’t notice
Prick, prick, prick, prick
My heart won’t ache
Blocking out the blinding, blinding lights
Are the curtains that are opened by
None other than me
It was my trembling hand
Saying I’m better off not knowing
And running away – I’m through with that
My ugliness and worthlessness
If I shine a light on them
And gulp them down
I’ll be reborn
Go beyond the night
Through the darkness
To welcome them
A sea of scars and a troubled forest
I don’t mind
I’ll drink the poison
Go beyond the night
Through the darkness
To welcome them
So that I won’t avert my eyes from a shining morning
I’ll keep blinking now
Peering into a cloud full of rain
Pain pounds my eyes
There’s mud at my feet
If I lose my nerve
If I run away
If I flinch
If I hang my head
In that one sublime moment
I’ll miss the rainbow
Go beyond the night
Through the night
To welcome them
A sea of scars and a troubled forest
I don’t mind
I’ll drink the poison
Now
Go beyond the night
Through the darkness
To greet them
So that I won’t avert my eyes from a shining morning
I’ll keep blinking now and
I’ll welcome them over and over again
