Bowed down to the ground in the midst of the night

As the sounds of the day fade away with the light

Struggling and weary from a long day of fight

Drained from within, not an ounce left of might

Left in hopelessness no release is in sight

As the burdens of life weigh down so tight

Longing, yea begging, to fly away like a kite

To a place where the ground is made of pure white

Yet this longing my heart knows is not right

So, I bow down before God in the midst of the night
