Child

Remember your fear of the dark, child, When sleep attempts to steal your sight, And monsters creep in, tall, sharp and wild. Sharp teeth, sharp claws, all to make you mild, They close in, trying to steal your light. Remember your fear of the dark, child. Imagine yourself a hero, riled Up with holy fury and banishing might, When monsters creep in, tall, sharp and wild. Hissing, screaming, from your room, exiled, But not forever, just for the night. Remember your fear of the dark, child. When morning came, you childishly reviled their failed attempt to bring you fright, When monsters crept in, tall, sharp and wild. Do not think that they can be beguiled Into staying away another night. Remember your fear of the dark, child, When monster crept in, tall, sharp and wild.
