(Johnny Van Zant - Robert Gay)



(This one's for you, Ronnie!)



The man in the dark is who I seek

Waiting for the light I fear I am too weak

Who is he, and why was he here

I guess I'll never know

Until my time is near.



I'm standing in the darkness all alone

I'm standing in the darkness

death has come too soon.



I stand for the jury new

Waiting for the golden gates to appear

The light is shining now

And you never felt so near.



I'm standing in the darkness, all alone

I'm standing in the darkness

Death has come too soon.



I'm standing in the darkness, all alone

I'm standing in the darkness

The Lord has come too soon...
