WHO WILL CATCH ME WHEN I FALL?

Who will catch me when I fall?

I lie here in bed feeling so small

When darkness closes in on me

I start to fear things I can’t see

When I go to sleep, I start to dream

Nightmares come and I want to scream

I wave my arms and shout and shout

My voice has gone, no sound comes out

I know someone is chasing me

I try to run and cannot see

I run and run as fast as I can

My legs feel weak and they seem to jam

I see people, but they don’t see me

I’m choking underwater; I’m drowning in the sea

I wander naked through the street

With giant blisters on my feet

I’m floating on the ceiling, looking down at myself

Weird people stand round me, a gnome and an elf

I wake up in shock, as it gives me a scare

But the gnome and the elf are still standing there

I’m falling into a big black hole

Down and down, it’s as black as coal

Please come and hold me when I shout or call

Please be there to catch me when I fall
