i used to be afraid of monsters
when they hid in closets
and under beds
but the dark can't hurt us
and i grew out of childish fright
eventually i learned
that darkness CAN hurt
when it's within us
and today of all days
today when we're apart
when we're weary and wary
when we're sick
it seems relevant to remember
that what we need is light
and laughter
and love
to kill the dark
and heal the world
with light and hope
we'll come together
