lyrics

Say your prayers and go to sleep
Let her lock the door to keep the demon who will roam at bay,
til dawn brings another day 
Mother's words are sacred vows 
Nothing's gonna hurt you now

All the answers that you seek are ancestral memories;
generations do their best
Lay your weary head to rest,
Is the demon roaming near?
You are safe now don't you fear

Starry eyes
how are you?
Nice to see you so free
After all these years

Hear the words Mother says tearful as she hangs her head
The demon swims in our own blood, careful now here comes the flood 
Ashes of our innocence swept so far under the bed

I'm not who you thought you'd be, listen to the grass and trees,
reminding you to leave your head, bring your fragile soul to mend
You're not with the demon now
Keep the faith I'll show you how


Starry eyes
how are you?
Are you wild
and free? (That's who I'd like to be)

Oh you wide
eyed wanderer
Hiding deep inside me


And you know that
I
thought time
Could buy light
That's been here all along
it's been here all along
