Lyrics
Mr. Bump: (spoken) I wanna tell you about something that I used to be afraid of when I was younger, but I'm not afraid of it anymore. (singing) I was afraid of the dark in my bed late at night. I would wish for the morning to bring me its light. Yes, afraid of the dark and the shadows it give wouldn't tell my dad or my mama because I wanted them to think that I was brave. In the darkness, I see all kinds of scary things waiting there. In the darkness, I would turn on the light and see what it frightened me was just my chair. I was afraid of the dark of the sounds near my door. Times went by, I grew older and I understood what I was frightened for. And now, I'm not afraid of darkness anymore. (spoken) Yeah! You know, I would lie there in my bed and I wouldn't be able to fall asleep because I was so afraid. But then, finally, I would turn on the light and see what it frightened me. And it wasn't anything terrible or creatures and stuff. It was just the shadows on the wall or things on my chair and somehow after that, I didn't have to be afraid. (singing) You may think I feel strong, still when daylights start to fade, I remember a sometimes when its darkness makes me feel so brave. (spoken) But you know, it's okay to be afraid. Yeah.
