Is the night ours
If the day chases us
Even in sleep
And darkens our dreams
With our deepest fears?
Is the night ours
If it is day
On the other side
Asking questions
That brook no answers?
Is the night ours
If we want to go back
After all these years
And want to take
The turn we didn't take?
Is the night ours
If we cannot listen
To this song
First heard when
Just ten
And not be just ten again?
Is the night ours
If we cannot go for a walk
Unchaperoned in the moonlight
And not be set upon
By beasts in heat
And not blamed
For being woman
Or not being woman?
