Just a word

I find myself searchin'
walking through the sadness
of a weary night lookin' for answers

lookin' for the word
once whispered in my ear
and now so hard to find

an' I know it's out there somewhere
locked in the wings of time waitin'
hopin' some day somewhere

it will come to me
walking through the sadness
of a weary night

and yes, out of the sadness
came the word and darkness became
a cloak laying over my shoulders when
it told me

I would no longer
walk through the sadness
of a weary night
