- In My Hour Of Darkness LyricsIn my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Once I knew a young man, went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word with just his high-beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
And the music he had in him so very few possess
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
And I loved him like my father and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time would shortly come but I did not know just when
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Once I knew a young man, went driving through the night
Miles and miles without a word with just his high-beam lights
Who'd have ever thought they'd build such a deadly Denver bend
To be so strong, to take so long as it would till the end
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Another young man safely strummed his silver string guitar
And he played to people everywhere, some say he was a star
But he was just a country boy, his simple songs confess
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age
And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page
And I loved him like my father and I loved him like my friend
And I knew his time would shortly come but I did not know just when
In my hour of darkness, in my time of need
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed
Oh Lord, grant me vision, oh Lord, grant me speed

Wow! Never knew that but Brandon was from my home town of Baldwin, NY and loved him in Shane - one of the great movies of my youth! Parsons and Harris blend beautiful lyrics in this paean. This could also have been an autobiographical piece about Gram also.
