Mama Said Don' T Be Afraid of the Dark
"I was four she was 25
Mama will look at me into my eyes
She said boy you have to realize
Life is cruel and it's no surprise
Cuz you see I was afraid of the dark
She refused to leave the night light on in my bedroom
I was afraid of the dark I will look at the Moon in the street lights
Mama said don't be afraid
Look into the dark and don't be dismayed
Speak the light as life Marches On always
Mama says Don't Be afraid of the dark
Speak into the night open your eyes and witness the light
The light that's inside the dark"
