I Can See Clearly Now

there was these woods as a kid that always gave me chills
                        full of trees and rocks,ponds and hills
                        there were more things lurking that in the forest 
                       snakes hanging from trees ,wolves howling in chores
                        
                        i couldn't help thinking that those were unholy grounds
                         always feared entering due to frighting sounds
                         then there was always this bonechillin breeze
                         constantly have you thinking that someone was hiding behind the trees
             
                       at night you could hear the different monsters as they creep
                        listen closely you'll hear the pounding sounds of giant feet's
                        just the dreary darkness gave me quite the scare 
                       so i never cared to know what was really out there
                       
                       but here i am i'm back now 
                       and i must overcome my fear of those woods somehow
                        just one more fear , i know i can kick it 
                      and i found out those woods were just some thickets
 
                      alot of tall grass and a few smalls trees 
                     and those snakes hanging were just funny looking leaves
                      i geuss i imagine all those creepy sounds
                      for there was nothing but coons and dogs running around
                      
                     there were pine cones falling and the flapping wings of birds
                  and  that small creek cant be all the water i heard
                      well i guess those woods don't scare me like they did 
                 cause i see much clearer now than when i was a kid!!!!!!!!
