Take a walk in the dark
Where your mother told you never to go
Take a walk in the dark
The real dark where you can't see before you
Take no light, you will disturb the darkness, the depth
Take a walk in the dark
Where the silence pierces the ears
And the scratches of small critters echo
And the sound of your footsteps cause you to question if you are alone
Take a walk in the dark where shadows dwell
And the darkness plays games with your imagination
Notice how there's something telling you to look behind you and quicken your pace
Take a walk in the dark where uncertainty is the only certainty.
And there's not guarantee of what you'll find at the end.
Keep your stride, keep it true until the end
Take a walk in the dark and leave the fear of it behind
Fear only what standing in the light will bring you. Or what it won't.
Maps were not drawn by standing still
Take a walk in the dark
Bask in the quiet
Keep from turning back and seeking out the security of the light
Fight on, stride hard against the fear, the apprehension
Pioneer your life against the unknown
Take a walk in the dark
Leave behind those who call you crazy, a fool.
That you're wasting your time. Stand in the light where it is safe.
Take a walk in the dark
Where you find just how far you can push your limits.
Where today's dreams are tomorrows possibilities.
Take a walk
To the edge of the map
And see what you discover in uncharted territories.
Take a walk to see what you will find on the other side of fear
