Dark Thoughts

When your sat there in the dark,
As scared as scared could be.
Is the devil out there?
Just waiting there for thee.
Or will these thoughts, you have at night
"Disappear" with a flick of a light.
This you ought to know,
He's out there waiting for everyone,
And he will never go.
He's waiting for you to break,
To give in to all his deeds,
If you ever break them,
He has all he needs.
So if your scared of the dark,
Don't sit there all alone.
Turn on the light,
Smile into the night,
And send the devil home.
