Comfort

When everyone has gone to sleep and you are wide awake
There's no one left to tell your troubles to
Just an hour ago, you listened to their voices
Lilting like a river over underground
And the light from downstairs came up soft like daybreak
Dimly as the heartache of a lonely child

If you can't remember a better time
You can have mine, little one
In days to come when your heart feels undone
May you always find an open hand
And take comfort wherever you can

And oh, it's a strange place
And oh, everyone with a different face
But just like you thought when you stopped here to linger
We're only as separate as your little fingers

So cry, why not? we all do
Then turn to one you love
And smile a smile that lights up all the room
Follow your dreams in through every out-door
It seems that's what we're here for

And when you can't remember a better time
You can have mine, little one
In days to come when your heart feels undone
May you always find an open hand
And take comfort, there is comfort
Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can
