Don’t be afraid at night
Don’t be afraid (not yet)
Tonight’s fears of yours—
the morning will turn them
into grains of rice
Your thought shines, my sweet child
and every blazing thought
conquers the monsters
Darkness, too, wants to embrace you
(It is completely bored of being in the dark)
One day you will wish
you could return to this boring darkness
to this threshold, to this shore
Don’t be afraid at night
Don’t be afraid (not yet)
Every summer will bring
new allies with the hearts of lions
Fly without fear
when you are in a sky that is unfamiliar
but with familiar wings
(get to know your wings)
Don’t be afraid—
When you’re in the dark, I’ll be with you
When you’re afraid, I’ll be with you
When you’re alone, I’ll be with you
Even in a crowd, I’ll be with you
Don’t be afraid—
When you’re in the dark, I’ll be with you
When you’re afraid, I’ll be with you
Until I’m around, I’ll be with you
And when I’m gone, I’ll be with you
Don’t be afraid—
pet the monsters
Don’t be afraid—
darkness hatches your thoughts
Don’t be afraid—
darkness is bored to tears without you
Thoughts light our way, my sweet child
Stroke the darkness with your wings
