A Child in the darkness
Asleep, but restless, he screams
Unseen creatures haunt him
In his mind twisting his dreams.
He calls for his mother
Crying out in his sleep
Comforting words softly spoken
\"Now child please don\'t weep!\"
She holds his hand tightly
And kisses his little head
She sits with him all night
In a chair by his bed.
Now he looks back
And thinks that all his dreams are gone
But now mother\'s left the bedroom
And the young man\'s alone.
He writes about his childhood
He writes about his dreams
The creatures have gone
Or that\'s how it seems.
But all his success and fame
That hasn\'t altered a thing
Asleep, alone in his bedroom....
I can hear him cry and scream!
