Little girl, keep your light on It's up to you to keep The monsters away They tell you you're A princess and this is your fairytale But you're just someone's daughter Sister and maybe someday wife There's no need to be afraid Of the dark, just the Shadows that it hides These are the things That go bump in the night And I wonder why no One ever tells the story right Be afraid, even be angry But be careful not to hate Because blame is such A dangerous game And there'll never be a change If no one's listening There's no need to be afraid Of the dark, just the Shadows that it hides These are the things That go bump in the night And I wonder why no One ever tells the story right Only share the best Leave out all the rest If no one says it maybe Then it isn't real Though you know it is Hate isn't the answer It just comes more easily Than patience for those Who don't believe There's no need to be afraid Of the dark, just the Shadows that it hides These are the things That go bump in the night And I wonder why no one Ever tells the story right
