As I lie awake in the dark

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

"Yes, aren't we all?"

"No, not me."

"But why?"

"Darkness is so beautiful and calming" 

As I lie awake in the dark 

I think of all the possibilities,

All the places I could visit,

All the people I could meet

All the memories I could make 

All the things I could do, if I wasn't afraid 

So no, I am not afraid of the dark

Darkness is the one thing that doesn't scare me

It gives me courage and strength and power 

As I lie awake in the dark 

I become who I want to be 

In my mind, all my dreams turn into reality 

The light is what scares me the most 

When daylight hits that's when I start to worry,

for along with the sun comes my reality.
