Lead Me Into The Light Poem by Paul Newman

Dark shdows fall across my mind,
voices fade into the night,
I stand alone on the edge of time,
won't someone lead me into the light.

I feel them stare from outside this veil of shadow,
but alone I must face the eternal dark,
my soul is stripped bare, I cry into the darkness,
won't someone lead me into the light.

have I no faith in God above?
have I no faith in those that are near?
have I no faith in my body, or my soul?
I fear I shall never see the light.

alone I walk this path I must follow,
each step torn from within my soul,
In my dreams I hear your voice, I reach out my hand,
won't you lead me into the light.

If I could only touch a star I would find you there,
your eyes, your smile, so soft and warm,
In tender love you'll take my hand and then,
only then, will you lead me into the light.
