Hide-Out
I hear footsteps nearing me
I can't help it but hide myself;
My heart says darkness is closing in to pounce me
And trouble is spreading her wings just beside me
I can feel it and it is not far away.
I hear footsteps nearing me
I close my windows and shut the door
Fear leaps in to warn me,
I can't pull the curtains;
I wait patiently breathing heavily in my closed shell.
Confusion then forces me to rethink
Is the hideout really a safe one?
For I still hear footsteps nearing me,
I can't help it and I know I have to hide myself.
Darkness is taking its toll on me
And when everything becomes numb
I guess I had victory;
I open the door but then it is just too late...
