Mary's Psalm: "The Darkness is not dark to You" (The Chosen Scene)

the more I read the songs of David the more I felt the need to write one of my own Please just know that whatever it is is going to be it's not finished So rarely let people into your mind The times you did I was always grateful [Music] [Music] Darkness is not the absence of light That would be too simple It's more uncontrollable and sinister Not a place but the void I was there once more than once And although I could not see or hear you you were there [Music] waiting because the darkness is not

dark to you At least at least not always You wept Not because your friend was [Music] dead but because soon you would be And because we couldn't understand it or didn't want to or [Music] both The coming darkness was too deep for us to grasp But then so is the [Music] light One had to come before the other It was always that way with you It still is [Music] Tears fell from your eyes and then [Music] ours before every light in the world went out and time itself wanted to die with you I go back

to that place sometimes Or rather it comes back to me uninvited The night that was eternal until it wasn't bitter and unsweet but somehow the bitter remained in the sweet and has never gone away You told us it would be like that Not with your words but with how you [Music] lived The man of sorrows acquainted with [Music] grief That grief wasn't what we wanted to see So we tried to look away and in so doing fulfilled your very essence One from whom people hide their faces [Music] But soon we couldn't hide from it any

more than we could stop the sun from setting or [Music] rising I remember you wishing there could be another [Music] way And looking back I do [Music] too I still don't know why it has to be this way The bitter often mingled with the sweet Maybe I never will At least not this side of
