Description They lock the doors as she stares outside
She cannot go out and she wonders why.
Her sister lifts her and carries her away,
But more than anything, she wants to stay.

At night there's a howling outside her room,
And a beating on the windows that rings with a boom
She hears all the noises and then she hides
Afraid that at some point it will come inside

One night they did not close the blinds on the door
So she stared in the night searching for more.
SLAM! On the glass was a monstrous thing
And the howls and the noises made her ears ring.

The thing broke the glass and went running at her
She screamed for her mom and her dad and sister
It's sharp teeth glowed white but were dripping with blood
And its claws were sharp and filthy with mud.

Her sister came down to save her at last
But all of a sudden she was gone with a flash
She came to her aid again she and smiled
The thing was gone,  back to the wild.

They lock the doors as she stares outside
She cannot go out and now she knows why.
Her sister lifts her and carries her away,
And she clings tight to her as she wishes for day.
