Lyrics

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT
Lyrics/music by Kathryn Lorenzen
Copyright 2001

A prayer is offered up
For the safety of a girl
As she makes her way alone
Through the evenings of her world

A cry is heard tonight
In the pain of an assault
A woman looks inside
To find herself at fault

Sometimes sweetness and starlight
Sometimes violence and flight
Between sunset and dawn
When right crosses wrong
Half the world we won?t be denied
In her name we take back the night

A shout will rise up now
In righteousness and light
If we will dare to dream
That we can free the night

Sometimes sweetness and starlight
Sometimes violence and flight
Between sunset and dawn
When right crosses wrong
Half the world we won?t be denied
In their names we take back the night
In our names we take back the night
