Afraid of the Dark


Darkness prevails, I cannot see.
What's there to do, it's all around me?
Through my silence I've fallen down.
All alone there's no light to shine 'round.

Where are you? Please help me!
Do you have the light to set me free?
Reach out to me. Don't let me fall.
Without you, how would I find my way at all.

I'm afraid of the dark! Don't lead me astray.  
Guide me, hold me; would you light my way?

You are my strength; my inspiration;
true love within. I reach to your beacon.
Up from the dust, my tears you wipe clean,   
You hold me close. No more will I scream.

I'm afraid of the dark! Don't lead me astray.  
Guide me, hold me; would you light my way?

Why did I not ask, you were always here?
Stay by my side and I no longer fear.
The darkness is vast, but your light is true
to guide me home, and help me renew.

I'm afraid of the dark! Don't lead me astray.  
Guide me, hold me; would you light my way?
would you light my way?

For my loving father who was always there for me when I was “afraid of the dark” with many night terrors;

To my friend Michelle White; In loving memory of Jakob, 

And my dear friend Gina Marley, who is an inspiration in my life.
