Hidden In The Shadows

Stay hidden in the shadows

Don't let them see your face

Child, accept your fate

Accept it with good grace

Don't run when you see them coming

It won't do any good

I can't protect you anymore

I never really could.

Child, dry your eyes

Never let them see you cry

Please, put on a brave face

As you sadly wave goodbye

Its no use thinking happy thoughts

They'll only be taken away

I promise I'll see you again

So wait patiently for that day.
