Running through the night
Going from shadow to shadow
Trying to hide from everyone
The traces of my pain
Nothing seems to be going right
The shadows close around me
Pulling me into their midst
Into the depths of their disdain
The stench of death surrounds me
As I am further pulled in
Hands reach out and grasp
At what they think is their gain
Then suddenly a light appears
The shadows all disperse
Years of hiding evaporate
With the tears of a clear falling rain.
