Evil Be Gone lyrics

I am a child and I'm pretty smart But I'm just a little afraid of the dark Sometimes I have to go outside at night Out to the back yard, where there is no light When I step out the door And I can't take one step more Because I am too much afraid It's then that I've been taught to say Evil be gone After I say it, I open my eyes Then I take a deep breath and step out in the night It's still dark around me, I still walk real slow But it makes me feel better, like I'm not alone When I step out the door And I can't take one step more Because I am too much afraid It's then that I've been taught to say Evil be gone And Mom and Dad say it's true that Sometimes they say it, too So it shouldn't make me feel strange To say, every time I'm afraid Evil be gone
