Surrounded by this dark shroud
Created in my mind
Living in a dark cloud
Search but never find
I am all alone
Searching for my soul
Searching through the darkness
Searching high and low
The darkness is a comfort
It hides the things I fear
Masking deep the hurt
Lest it come too near
Hide away those thoughts
Broken beyond repair
Of past, present, and future
I might as well despair
And the darkness is a comfort
In hiding what I fear
But the darkness is a danger
For hiding those so near
And in the wretched darkness
Is bound my very soul
Angel who doth guard me
Help me in my goal
Hold my hand
And take control
Guide me through the darkness
Guide me to my soul
No more on dark shall I rely
With tears ever flowing
To darkness I shall say goodbye
To light I now am going
Forevermore to dwell in light
With smiles, never frowning
With angels I shall dwell in flight
My praises ever sounding
