Frightened By The Light Of Day

Randy Vanwarmer

As a child, I was frightened

When someone put out the light

I thought those dark, evil demons

Only ever came out at night

Now I wake up in the morning

Can't keep them demons at bay

I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day

Frightened by the light of the day

I made a cross once to chase them away

I prayed to God, but even he was afraid

Somebody help me

I can't stand this emptiness

I've known your love

And I need it to survive

I'm sound in body and sound in mind

But this emptiness

Like some disease, it eats away inside

I am frightened of dying

I'm afraid for my soul

Afraid of where it is hiding

Afraid of where it will go

I am frightened of knowing

But more afraid not to know

If I chose this life

I chose it from the very back row

I chose it from the very back row

I made a cross once to chase them away

I prayed to God, but even he was afraid

Somebody help me

I can't stand this emptiness

I've known your love

And I need it to survive

I'm sound in body and sound in mind

But this emptiness

Like some disease, it eats away inside

As a child, I was frightened

When someone put out the light

I thought those dark, evil demons

Only ever came out at night

Now I wake up in the morning

Can't keep them demons at bay

I look in the mirror frightened by the light of the day

Frightened by the light of the day

Frightened by the light of the day
