Lyrics
He'll seem to come on with a vengeance
He appears with great intensity and force.
You'll think that you've been wasting time
You'll feel like your time has been wasted.
You'll think that you've been discussing history
You'll believe you've been engaged in conversations about the past.
And he'll have left you far behind
He'll have moved far ahead, leaving you behind.
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
Recognize that he depends on you to prevent himself from losing clarity or purpose.
To keep himself from going blind
To maintain his focus, he relies on your presence.
And when the black night falls upon you
When a difficult or challenging period arrives,
You'll find it easy to be kind, kind
You'll discover it's effortless to show kindness.
The stars may shimmer in the black sky
The stars may shine brightly in the dark sky.
The wind may rustle in the trees
The wind may make gentle sounds through the trees.
You might be worried he may psych you
You might be concerned that he could psychologically affect you.
You might be praying on your knees
You might find yourself praying in a vulnerable state.
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
But when you understand he relies on you,
And when you finally take some time
And when you eventually take a moment for yourself,
The cool black night will fall upon you
The tranquil dark night will descend upon you.
You'll find it easy to unwind
You'll discover it's easy to relax and let go.
Hey, the moon may rise on the misty mountain
The moon may appear over the mist-covered mountain.
You'll wish you never made the climb
You may regret the choices that led you to this point.
But when the black night's finally with you
But when the challenging times are finally present,
You'll find it easy to be kind
You'll find it simple to be kind and understanding.
You'll find it easy to unwind
You'll find it easy to relax and release tension.
You'll find it easy to be blind
You'll find it easy to turn a blind eye to difficulties.
