The lost souls swing, left and right above our heads
The children scream, out of fear of the rise and the fall
In silence we stand still, we are scared too
Of all the things that come and go
The time has come for me to sleep, Maria
The time has gone
Help me banish from my mind all the scary thoughts
Because I'm afraid
I'm afraid of these keeping me awake tonight, Maria
Afraid of the monsters, the nightmares, the smoke
Whisper me blue again
As I go into the unknown
Because I know, I know for sure Maria:
If we both light up, we can
Scare away the dark.
