Scared of the Dark

I have been scared of the darkness below The sun glows bright and the wind will blow I have been unprepared for the worst again The moonbeams glimmer above like my pen Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant I cried and I tried to get it together… I flew and I grew so much stronger I'm speechless and I noticed from the start That you wanted me helpless and broken apart Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant I have forgotten most of the lines I made up long ago I have never forgotten the times we had and you know Is there anyone around to help me out? Is there anyone to drown out the doubt? Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant I kneeled down and prayed to God today He hears my cries and He understands me I can tell His affection has sent me on my way To the island of healing and sweet serenity Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant My pen will keep on running As long as you keep on going I need some reassurance, my dear I want some remembrance of cheer Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant I have been scared of the darkness below The wind blows with its might and it will show This time, I will be prepared for what lies ahead Sometimes, I pray and wish you'd stop playing with my emotions of dread and thrill me with terrific feelings instead Was in solitude for hours Ideas sprouting like flowers Lost my heart in the woods of obscurity Can't always be there to mend your injury I've been scared of the darkness I've been drenched in loneliness I can't get over my sorrow for years I can't wipe away my endless tears Listen to the rivers of my mere heartbeat Listen to the thunderstorm below my feet Is there anybody out there to save me right now? Is there somebody to simply lean on somehow? I've been way too scared of the dark… I can no longer sing, my darling lark - so significant I've been through so much in the dark That I now seek the heavenly light in a spark of an instant Confidence empowers my once-shattered soul Pride deep inside sprout inside me as a whole Lost my heart in the wretched weeds Can't always pick up your past beads I can no longer sing… Oh, I just want to bring You gracious, glorious gladness I don't wish upon you sadness I've been realizing that you've been Scared of the dark again and again These tears have been concealed for so many years Mirror my pain and set me free from my nightmares
