The lake was placid,
and near the place I called home.
Where my happiness lasted
until that day had come.
The day I had to make
the awful journey away
from my lake.
It tore at me day by day.
I was told I had to move
onto bigger and better horizons.
But all it did was prove
my life full of unwanted surprises.
Fire burning bright,
The bright everlasting light.
Feel the warmth through the light that glows
Through your head down to your toes.
Near the sides of the ground
there is ice all around
colder colder everyone knows
that cold chill felt through your bones.
Far away each animal lies
lie at night which day despise
The moon rose high and high
clothing the ground with bright light.
Day to night the trees disguised
as horrible monsters children recognize.
They run, they run so hard.
They run, they run very far.
But the monsters that they fear,
during the day they disappear.
The trees are back to normal
they are no longer so horrible.
The children don’t need to hide
they are safe, they have pride.
Nobody has the fear anymore
of the monsters hiding by the door.
Fire, Fire burning bright.
What will you teach us tonight?
No matter now where you go,
the monsters will be afraid to show.
