alone in my room

alone in the dark
alone in my heart
tears to come one day
but tonight i am without
their cold hand in me
some will see, but less will view
the beauty of this world and the music i view
the music we make, it flows through me now
the beat, oh the beat
it plays like a wind swept sheet on a hot august night
tears tonight for the beat that i play, for the love of this earth for the music in me
i dance this night for the sake on the flame, for the love of the dark for the beat in my heart
come to dance, or come to watch, i can spin my feet for the people that can not speak
for the people that lie cold, for the people that believe in their sleep
but come and hang out, and we can share the dark beat
there is plenty to go around
when i sit here
music loud
in the dark, it makes me proud
