Ghosts In the Darkness

So scared, sweet child sleeping
nightmares in the dark
dreaming of a world
far outside my own
do the images still haunt you
as I can only imagine
of your once lost soul
on the streets of the insane
seeking out the shelter
I tried so hard to give
a battle for you, just to live
to come home to our hearts
where you still see the ghosts
deep within your dreams
