Before The Bad Man Sees You Go

Before The Bad Man Sees You Go

Stay close to the shadows near,

Keep your footsteps soft and clear,

The night is watching from afar,

Beneath each distant fading star.

The road ahead is dark and long,

So trust your heart when something’s wrong,

Do not linger where danger stays,

Move quickly through unfamiliar ways.

A cold wind carried whispered fears,

Warnings gathered through the years,

Stories spoken low and slow,

Of those who vanished long ago.

The bad man waits where trust grows thin,

Hiding behind a borrowed grin,

Seeking chances to deceive,

Using words that make you believe.

Keep your eyes upon the light,

Do not wander deep at night,

Every instinct has its place,

Listen when your pulse starts to race.

The moon climbed high above the land,

Guiding those who understand,

That caution often clears the way,

Helping people reach the day.

Soon the darkness starts to fade,

And fear retreats into the shade,

Morning stretches through the sky,

As night’s last echoes pass on by.

Walk on until the danger ends,

Toward the place where safety bends,

Far beyond what fear can show,

Before the bad man sees you go.
