I edge away from the darkness
Afraid of the unknown
I find myself in the moonlight
Lucid and lone

The stars shine bright
They show me I’m not alone
Instead they laugh and dance and sing
With no care at all in the world

After days they make me smile
Every day they remind me of life
Soon I laugh instead of cry
And now I stand tall in the night

The people watching me believe
That I was always strong and brave
And now I no longer hide

For though I may not see them here
I know that they are always there
Watching and waiting
To take me home
When I just don’t care
About what I am
