Leave the light on

You struggle from the past you can’t see

You hear the voices of your enemies

Though dark is the way, in this struggling age

Help is for the brave, yet who pays the wage?

You’re scared you tell me, why only me?

Are you fighting to be free, or just to be

Living in the past doesn’t pay the bills

Dying for no one won’t stop the chills

So tell me sweetheart, should I leave the light on?

Are you still afraid of the monsters that are gone?

Will you let me comfort you with a kind smile?

Or will you let me struggle all the while?

I am your guardian, your protector, your whispering voice

I am resolute, careful to help you make the choice

To be unafraid when the darkness surrounds

To let me drive the evil out of town

So hush now child and find some rest

Listen to my words, they are the test

It could be said that over me you fawn

But if you’re scared I can leave the light on

Trust me sweet one, I am not the harbinger cold
I am not the whisper of doom so old

You need to know who you can trust

You need to feel, or else you will rust

You are partners with me in this great con

So don’t feel ashamed if you need the light on.
