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
