My voice is silent tonight
Waiting for the sleep astray
Hoping for some brighter light
Hoping for the break of day

My voice is crying alone
The pain I feel inside
For nothing else I call my own
But this pain I’ve always cried

And cry I will until I sleep
Or ‘til the night leaves me be
(That’s a promise I tend to keep)

And cry I will until I see
The shade of light that tries to creep
Through the dark that blinds me
