Found that man reported missing He wandered in his home It don't seem to bad if you consider Just what he's been through It seems he met up with a gang of thieves Who mistook him for a man of means They locked him up, then found he had no money And so they let him go again Now he's back at home and happy Just to see the kids I wish that I could really tell you All the things that happen to me And all that I have seen: A world full of people, their hearts full of joy Cities of light with no fear of war And thousands of creatures with happier lives And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide Oh, keep it dark It seems strange to have to lie About a world so bright Tell instead a made-up story From the world of night I wish that I could really tell you All the things that happen to me And all that I have seen: A world full of people, their hearts full of joy Cities of light with no fear of war And thousands of creatures with happier lives And dreams of a future with meaning and no neeed to lie No need to hate, no need to hide Oh, keep it dark
