The night sky is clear, the road is long,
And the miles are many before I sleep.
I turn the radio off and roll down
The windows to let the moment in.
There is a faint touch of cool autumn
In the wind that whispers across my face.
The moon paints a pale glow on the
Countryside and the drive ahead.
I relax and shake the daily dust from my
Mind, feeling that nothing is out of reach.
I am caught in this moment of freedom
And peace, I’m free to fly tonight.
This is one of the many times that I am
Aware of something more than myself.
Here I am close to the one who gives me
Breath, gives me hope, and gives me life.
Of all the gods, all the idols, and every
Measure of all the worlds, only one came
To me, arms open, and broke the sin of man.
And tonight, I am blessed beyond measure.
I feel my steps can reach deeper ground,
My eyes can search the depths of oceans,
My mind and spirit travel the longest road,
And my soul can walk the deepest night.
We ride together as the miles pass quickly,
And for a short moment I escape the grave.
I embrace the nameless eternity and smile
As I have so many times in my short life.
