Darkness of the Night (Part 1)

Lyrics

Real talk, fam if this is part of God's plan Then damn count me out 'cause I'm about to surrender I suppose that's the point if you listen to the words From the sermons that I've heard to A Grief Observed Hard to be sure when emotions are stirred not shaken And hearts are pushed past breaking As-salamu alaykum peace be with you Miss you hit you in whatever next I get to Let you into my heart from the start As if I had a choice once I heard your voice Newly minted imprinted when you lifted Me into a cradle made of love and two arms Safe from all harm that eventually would find me Life is not easy I don't need you to remind me But I can find the way through the darkness of the night Just because my mama taught me right Alan Deale: As we sojourn in the valley of death Let us not forget the sunshine that was on the heights of life Real life, player times is tough Stop the ride man I've had enough Too sad to bluff and act nice in mixed company Maybe that's why mixed company has had enough of me It's tough to be all smiles while pain piles up Small talk while my thoughts are focused miles up Don't believe in heaven I wish I did I'd run to join my mother and her other two kids Sometimes I want to live and sometimes I don't Don't quote don't know if I believe what I spoke Hope most folks know I'm just going through a phase Wrote most of these lyrics during really dark days I'm in a haze trying to get my head straight Lift off the dead weight meditate Let fate guide me through the darkness of the night And trust that my mother taught me right [Alan Deale] As we sojourn in the valley of death May these moments here together deepen our sense of comradeship
