Brightest at Midnight

Wandering through silent halls Midnight's hush around me falls Doubt was whispering my name Nighttime used to fan my shame But a sparkle in the dark Lit a flame inside my heart I once feared the night Now it's where I shine Stepping to the light No longer decline I'm brightest at midnight When the shadows try to reign Glowing in my own right In the heart of swirling pain I'm brightest at midnight A beacon in the black Standing strong in the fight There's no turning back No more timid footsteps here Courage guides me loud and clear Stars that once seemed far away Now reflect in my own way Even if the night is long In its hush, I'm standing strong I once feared the night Now it's where I shine Stepping to the light No longer decline I'm brightest at midnight When the shadows try to reign Glowing in my own right In the heart of swirling pain I'm brightest at midnight A beacon in the black Standing strong in the fight There's no turning back The clock strikes twelve My soul ignites No shame left to shelve I own my nights I'm brightest at midnight (When the world is fast asleep) Shining like a satellite (My secrets mine to keep) Every fear dissolves to dust As I glow from within Midnight is my sacred trust Where my power does begin Brightest at midnight... I shine
