I'm going to stay up late tonight,
Under the covers with my little flashlight.
Read until the batteries die.
I'm going to stay up late tonight,
Under the blankets, bundled up tight.
Shiver until the morning comes.
I'm going to stay up late tonight,
Huddled up, staring straight at the nightlight.
Hope that the monsters vanish soon.
I'm going to stay up late tonight,
Hoping my family will be alright.
Pray that my parents will survive the storm.
I'm going to stay up late tonight,
Holding the age and the darkness away.
Fight to maintain my grip on life.
I'm going to go to bed early tonight.
My strength has fled and my bones are old.
Let it go and finally sleep.
Goodnight.
