A lonely night it is

An exceptionally long night

Where loneliness is my best friend

Crying is my comfort,

And darkness is my hiding place

As I watch them all go against me.

Then I met this young maiden

Who confided and comforted me

I took a stand in life

And watched them all fall,

For going against me

Then I hear the jungle drums

And see the leopard leaping

I then knew I had gained victory and love.
