Middle of the night
I know you're still awake
'Cause I am
I've never been alright
But for the first time in a long time
I'm not running
Lord, have mercy on us pilgrims
Painful steps and slow
Lord, have mercy on us pilgrims
Don't know where to go
The late September light (Mmm...)
Makes this crazy world (Mmm...)
Like a dream
I've spent so many nights (Mmm...)
Trying to hang my fears (Mmm...)
Upon the evergreens
Lord, have mercy on Your children
You see our enemies (see our enemies
In the face of our reflection
Lord, have mercy on us please
And I've heard it said,
"Nothing human is foreign"
Oh, I wish that were true
And I've heard it said
There is joy in the morning
So I'm holding like mad onto you
Oh Lord, have mercy on the fearful
Though there's nothing left to fear
Lord, remember we are people
Fragile and tenuously here
Ah...
Middle of the night
I know you're still awake
'Cause I am
