Keep It Dark

Found that man reported missing

He wandered in his home

It don't seem to bad if you consider

Just what he's been through



It seems he met up with a gang of thieves

Who mistook him for a man of means

They locked him up, then found he had no money

So, they let him go again



Now, he's back at home and happy

Just to see the kids



I wish that I could really tell you

All the things that happened to me

And all that I have seen

A world full of people, their hearts full of joy

Cities of light with no fear of war

And thousands of creatures with happier lives

And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide



Oh, keep it dark



It seems strange to have to lie

About a world so bright

Tell instead a made-up story

From the world of night



I wish that I could really tell you

All the things that happened to me

And all that I have seen

A world full of people, their hearts full of joy

Cities of light with no fear of war

And thousands of creatures with happier lives

And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to lie

No need to hate

No need to hide



Oh, keep it dark
