[Hook]
In the middle of the night, we get frights
In the middle of the night, there's no light
When midnight strikes, there exists only fright
When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night
[Verse 1]
He is trapped in the depths of the darkness
The flames burned out when he tried to spark this
He di'n know how to get this fire started
The embers kept making his face smarted
One day he opened his eyes and saw a light
And he saw how to make his words sublime
The light showed him a way out of the dark
And helped him hit his words out the ball park
[Hook]
In the middle of the night, we get frights
In the middle of the night, there's no light
When midnight strikes, there exists only fright
When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night
[Verse 2]
There might exist fright at this time of night
But now he knows he can find the light
The embers light the way to the outside
Where he can leave and make everything right
He can forget how the place treated him
And how nobody ever needed him
'Til he was at the bottom of the pit
Where his depression became bottomless
[Hook]
In the middle of the night, we get frights
In the middle of the night, there's no light
When midnight strikes, there exists only fright
When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night
[Outro - skit]
You can make it out of the darkness, I did
No matter how dark it is, you can lighten your world
Don't let anyone darken it
