Why Are You Afraid of the Dark? - Children 18:3

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Sleep

I closed my eyes but the night wouldn’t go away

Will my covers keep me safe?

If I can reach into my dreams it’ll be okay

But you said

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Sleep

I can’t see into tomorrow

But when I look ahead you’re there

A long way off but maybe I’ll reach you by morning

I don’t know what’s coming next

But I know what lies behind

And I’m not going back to safety

Did you turn off the lights to help me?

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Sleep

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

So, why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Sleep

When I can’t see

Lead me

Almighty

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Why are you afraid of the dark tonight, little one

I’m right beside you

Sleep
