In darkness we hear what is not there As children we imagine creatures under the bed In darkness we fear the worst is so close They hide in the wardrobe or outside the door In darkness they creep and they sneak and they plot Waiting to pounce when your eyes close for sure In darkness theres see stars if we squidge our eyes tight Millions and millions of tiny bright lights In darkness we lie with a lover in bed Or crunch up a pillow and squeeze that instead In darkness a poor candidate stands Only wanting light to see whats around In darkness a soldier he waits for the dawn He prays to his god he can soon go home In darkness our fears control all our thoughts In light most of them are not there at all In darkness ill slip from this place we call life I hope after darkness there is only light
