Lyrics of I won't be afraid of the dark

A blue collar worker
I didn't ask for more
I put in my time
When I walked through that door

No sitting for me
All day on my feet
Making a living
In the cold and the heat

Happy to be there
I liked the pay
It would soon change forever
In one single day

I was so excited
If you know what I mean
When the Boss called me into his office
His office so clean

He said son "Get ready for tomorrow
It will be a brand new scene
Cause I'm letting you go
You've been replaced by a machine". Oh no!

I tried to be stoic
I tried to act stark
But all I wanted
Was to hide in the dark

You see I've always felt better
In a quiet dark room
It calms me down
I get better real soon

It was almost midnight
I was finally alone
I closed all the blinds
I shut off my phone

I wanted to hear some good music
something that sounds real nice
As soon as I got settled
I turned off the lights

I found it quite soothing
My eyes started to adjust
My woes became shadows
That turned into dust

I closed my mind
I put it in park
And told myself
I won't be afraid of the dark
