[Hook] In the middle of the night, we get frights In the middle of the night, there's no light When midnight strikes, there exists only fright When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night [Verse 1] He is trapped in the depths of the darkness The flames burned out when he tried to spark this He di'n know how to get this fire started The embers kept making his face smarted One day he opened his eyes and saw a light And he saw how to make his words sublime The light showed him a way out of the dark And helped him hit his words out the ball park [Hook] In the middle of the night, we get frights In the middle of the night, there's no light When midnight strikes, there exists only fright When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night [Verse 2] There might exist fright at this time of night But now he knows he can find the light The embers light the way to the outside Where he can leave and make everything right He can forget how the place treated him And how nobody ever needed him 'Til he was at the bottom of the pit Where his depression became bottomless [Hook] In the middle of the night, we get frights In the middle of the night, there's no light When midnight strikes, there exists only fright When midnight strikes, you are stuck in the night [Outro - skit] You can make it out of the darkness, I did No matter how dark it is, you can lighten your world Don't let anyone darken it
