as the moon appears in front of the sun
the sky is painted black
this night is impossible to outrun
here comes the insomniac
for 8 hours
my heart will race
my head will drum
i will sink
into the depths of the darkness
as it tells me stories
of people who tried
as it tells me secrets
of people who did
i forever
thought my nights would be such
but then he told me
why he created the night
he said the day was for my insight
he said the night was for my resting
not for me to be fright
because he knows my heart
he knows what i need
therefore he created the darkness
to encourage me to close my eyes
he created the quiet
to let me hear my thoughts
he created the stars
to show me there's light in the dark
and created the moon
to show me his guiding mark
i feel him near
wrapping around me
protecting me from my fears
as the moon appears in front of the sun
the sky is painted black
this night is impossible to outrun
but now i close my eyes
and settle into my nest
i know he is watching me
the racing is gone in my chest
because these 8 hours
are my time to rest
