Mary's Song (How Dark the Night)

At first when I woke I thought I dreamt
His eyes aflame, a soul unkempt
Heavy the burden of one small light
Oh how dark the night
Crossing the land, we did not speak
We clutched him within and prayed he’d keep
The greatest of secrets and lights too bright
Oh how dark the night
Yet would I love him all again?
Yet would I witness God’s own name?
Given from man, from man to slight
Oh how dark the night
Oh how dark the night
