Daylight

Daylight falls
 And I'm lost in the big parade
 Hold my hand, darling
 I'm afraid of the daylight
 Shade is dark
 Cool and languid for life or long
 Safe in shadow, it's never as dark as the daylight
 As the daylight
 When I was just knee high
 My momma told me, never try to be someone that I am not
 Yet over time, I had forgot
 A wandering child, so lost at play
 He's found himself, but he can't find his way
 In the daylight
 Oh, the daylight
 Oh, daylight
 Oh, daylight
 Life is short
 And there's no turning back the time
 Fragrant meadows and rocks to climb
 In that daylight
 In my mind
 There's a corner I need to turn
 Lessons left is a lesson learned
 In the daylight
 In the daylight
 I miss the forest shade that took me there
 The promise I made can never leave the dark so dear
 Safe and soothing, yet I fear
 As I recall and I reflect
 I see it's safer to connect to the daylight
 Oh, the daylight
 Oh, daylight
 Oh, daylight

 Daylight falls
 And I'm lost in the big parade
 Hold my hand, darling, I'm afraid
 Of the daylight
 Of the day
