What Am I You Must Think
I creep in through the darkness
And you can feel I’m there
You may be threatened by my starkness
Though I never meant to scare
You can’t see me in the daylight
But you will see what I have done
And you can seal yourself in airtight
Or maybe even run
You really have to take me
For who I really am
I really have to stay free
And uncatchable yes I am
Most of you have seen
The things that I can do
Things are not so green
When I make you feel so blue
I just may have you thinking
That I am some kind of crook
If you’ll stop your eyes from blinking
You can read me like a book
You can feel me every winter
What am I you must think
No I’m not a splinter
Have I got you on the brink
I only have one name
And I think that you all know
If it’s all the same
It’s time for me to show
I make water into ice
Even stop a rivers flow
Sometimes I am not nice
I am the COLD and now you know
