New Light in the Morning

She wakes abruptly in the middle of the night

By her daughter’s high pitched scream

She swiftly runs along the darkened hall

To wake her from her dreadful dream

She tries to tell her there’s no bogey man

They only live within her head

There are no ogres in the closet

No monsters lurk beneath the bed

No matter what the darkness holds I promise you, she said, that they’ll be…

 

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light at the start of a brand new day

 

Teenage girl stares at her mobile phone

Reads a message late in bed

You’ve been dumped it reads, she’s all alone

Isolated wishing she were dead.

She wipes the teardrop that begins to form

She’s stunned and can’t believe it’s really true

How could he be cowardly and stoop so low

She’s helpless and there’s nothing she can do

She curls up in her duvet and she sobs the whole night through, but there’ll be..

 

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light at the start of a brand new day

 

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light in the morning, in the morning, they’ll be

New light at the start of a brand new day
