When I was but a child,
I would read all day and night,
Shine my torch beneath the blankets,
Create shadows with the light.
I would read all day and night,
Shine my torch beneath the blankets,
Create shadows with the light.
Why now afraid of shadows?
They're just illusions of the mind,
If you shine your light upon them,
Truth and beauty you will find.
They're just illusions of the mind,
If you shine your light upon them,
Truth and beauty you will find.
Be filled with light, not darkness,
Keep that torch switched on,
And whenever you resist it,
Chase those shadows right along.
Keep that torch switched on,
And whenever you resist it,
Chase those shadows right along.
They’ll slink into the corners,
Til your light scares them away,
Keep them running, do not waver,
Soon they won’t be back to stay.
Til your light scares them away,
Keep them running, do not waver,
Soon they won’t be back to stay.
