In the darkness of night, Demons strut, taunting, goading. In the light of day, Angels sing glorious songs. In the time in between, We live our lives alone and searching. And sometimes, softly, You understand damnation. All is forgotten, all is lost, All but forgiveness And the memory of her kiss. Lisa Mangum
About This Quote

The darkness of night is taken as a metaphor for the uncertainty of life. The demons that strut and taunt are self-doubt. They make us feel like we can’t achieve anything, that we’re failures. But the light of day is the reminder that our efforts do make a difference.

It’s why angels sing in the light of day. That’s what makes the most difference. All is forgotten, all is lost, all but forgiveness and the memory of her kiss.
