A wise woman told me,
"Let your sun shine."
And so I did.
But one day I saw a switch.
I flicked it down, spun around,
and all I saw was darkness.

A few weeks went by.
I had assimilated to the dark,
and I felt a cold chill in my heart.
I went back to the switch
But before I flicked it back
I thought to myself
"Do you wanna go back?"

All the sudden I heard
the woman's voice
And she said to me,
"You have the choice
to brighten your days
with your beautiful,
sparkling sun rays.
My son, it's your life,
But I know you know
what's right."

I smiled and flicked the switch up,
and the sun was so warm.
I never want to see that switch again.
