lyrics

I’m a local here I’m familiar with the woods
I’ve even had a cup or two with the big bad wolf
At first he’s in the shadows, then he’s in my neighborhood
He’s sat at my table and slept under my roof

Every word he says slips silent like a knife
Into my head in such a way I couldn’t feel the strife
There’s no point in arguments with the devil in the night
All that we can do is take him on this fight

So carry on
You’ll find strength for the fight ahead of you
Keep moving along
There’s a light at the edge of the woods up ahead

I’ve been lost so long I’ve grown used to this curse
I’ve felt right at home here sleeping in the earth
That’s the truth of sin taking root beneath my skin
Til’ I forget it’s there in my silence it perverts
Til’ I forget it’s there in my silence it perverts

So carry on
You’ll find strength for the fight ahead of you
Keep moving along
There’s a light at the edge of the woods up ahead

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
It ain’t me (no) It ain’t me

So carry on
You’ll find strength for the fight ahead of you
Keep moving along
There’s a light at the edge of the woods up ahead

Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf
It ain’t me (no) It ain’t me
