Just Before Dawn
After the darkest hour
comes the new dawn
comes where it all changes
revival to a world
where smiles form in the creases
of the new day’s yawn.
Just before dawn
the darkest hour of day
yet it stands in the knowing
in the praising
in the promise
that light is just hours away.
Even in the pits
there is a peace
there is a love
there is a hope
given to all who accept it in
the power, the light, the promise
that must keep burning within.
Just before dawn
the darkest hour of day
yet it stands in the knowing
in the praising
in the promise
that light is just hours away.
Not as the world gives
not as hearts can be troubled
not as the night fills with fear
for just before dawn
the light is still so very near.
Just before dawn
the darkest hour of day
yet it stands in the knowing
in the praising
in the promise
that light is just hours away.
