I was hoping
I'd grow up and you'd be right
The dark would lose to light
Stories creeped in
All the bad ones changed my mind
Bad ones changed my mind
If you can please let me stay
In the world of yesterday
Keep us safe all through the night
Say we'll be alright
And I'll believe you
Counting villains
Playing out their wicked parts
When does wicked start?
But it's written
That the hero always win
Send the hero in
If you can please let me stay
In the world of yesterday
Keep us safe all through the night
Say we'll be alright
Tell the end so I can see
That the hero part is me
Keep me safe all through this fight
Say I'll be alright
Say I'll be alright
And I'll believe you
