Story behind the song
Being a fan of Simon & Garfunkle, I had a fondness for "The Boxer" tune and always wanted to write something similar. This is the result of that effort. Though is was supposed to be more Folk/Rock, once the rest of the band started playing it, it ended up more Folk/Country! :-) I still love the lyrics, though...
Lyrics
On the road of my existence I go looking for my dreams Disappointments in my Life Make me ask "oh Lord, why me?" In a search that's never ending Filled with neverending schemes... So as I sort my feelings In emotional retreat I am sinking, I am sinking Yet my mind won't clearly see That in giving You my all Lord, You've made a Way for me... Chorus: In the night When I'm lost and all alone In the night When there seems no hope at all In the night Lord You've come to save me, Lord You gave me, Light... In the Night So on I go insisting I can make it on my own Yet, the doubts that plague my thinking Prove instead I can't go on In this masquerade of Life Am I truly all alone? Then in those final moments When it's seem all hope is gone The Night begins to fade Into the Light of early Dawn You've always made a Way for me A chance to carry on repeat Chorus repeat Chorus
