Own The Night

[Verse 1]

The darkness falls and the night she calls
Try to keep my mind straight & avoid pitfalls
Scratching at my soul the night comes so stealth
I have no fear of the world, just save me from myself
Let your light fill this place in the midst of the night
I know you’re always there walk by faith and not by sight, right?
But sometimes I can’t see it, I want so hard to believe it
Sometimes I feel so strong, other times I’m the weakest
Night time stumbles, reaching and falling
Night time stumbles, but your always calling
You’re my anchor in the water, the air in my flight
Hold tight to your hand until I see the morning light
Where could I go that your love couldn't find me?
Where could I go when you’re always beside me?
Raise me up, lift me up, so my soul burns bright
I’m standing on the promise & you own the night

[Hook]

The night, the night
The day is theirs but we own the night
And you gave your life away
And you gave your life away to the night

[Verse 2]

Searching for a hero someone to believe in
See it in the movies, games and books that we’re reading
Some fly high leaping over tall buildings
Throwing out webs and climbing on the ceilings
/ x-ray vision, gadgets and Dark Knights
Focused on fiction, cameras and bright lights
My hero is no man of steel, flying over trees
My hero is a real man who suffers and bleeds
Small hill, small place not too many tickets sold
Stripes down his back, sword thrusted in a heart of gold
Took it on the chin for our sin to free the masses
Can’t see it on the Imax with some 3D glasses
Was buried at the bottom, stone rolled & forgot him
Night and his minions, crying out that they got him
A flash filled the tomb and it still shines bright
Death and Darkness under foot, He owns the night

[Hook]

The night, the night
The day is theirs but we own the night
And you gave your life away
And you gave your life away to the night

[Verse 3]

You can measure it, map it out, and it still comes back
In fact the more we unfold, his presence is known
He's still hanging on the cross as the world walks by
His blood flows out but they ignore it or deny it
Look around and observe, what do people live for
So much static drowns the knocking on your front door
A gentle savior a gentle man to set our souls upright
Death tries to move closer but he owns the night

[Hook]

And you gave your life away
And you gave your life away
And you gave your life away
To the night
