Standing In The Darkness

by Johnny Van Zant

on No More Dirty Deals (1980), The Johnny Van Zant Collection (1994)

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 now
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, oh
I'm standing in the darkness
Death has come too soon, oh

Standing in the darkness all alone
I'm standing in the darkness
The Lord has come too soon, oh
