Time's up, I've got to go I wish I didn't have to, but I know that if I don't leave now, I'll be late Though I'm tired, I can't afford to wait

We sit down together No work today Classes are long since over We can talk and laugh together

When you're falling down When all hope is gone And you can't carry on Look up and remember these words

Not every superhero wears a mask Some can only wear a smile Showing that they understand another's problems As they work to guide people out of the dark

Sometimes it might feel like no one will listen to you that your troubles aren't enough for people to stop and care

The night has fallen Shrouding the world in unknown An endless darkness

Remember the sun Soon its light will break the storm And bring back the day

It's hard to ignore fear It will keep you safe, I know It keeps you alive, but see that it doesn't let you live

Fear waits around every corner In every dark alleyway Behind the eyes of every stranger Sheltered in the unseen and unknown

You rest on my pillow beside me Smiling when I smile at you You rest your head on my shoulder when no one else is around

I hear you creeping through the night spindly fingers reaching closer whispering in my ear reminding me why I should be afraid
