Its Nothing At All

It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

It was the first night in the new place
Each boy and girl and mom and dad
Tucked tightly in bed
Ready for their dreams
 
It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

As the father lies down
All hears an echo
Maybe a crash?
Maybe a snap?

It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

Jumping out of bed
Gathering in the halls
Awaiting an answer
To what made the call

It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

Father walks down the stairs
A light in his hand
Hoping to find the cause
Of what had him out of bed

It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

Now down the stairs he is
Grabbing for a light
When he hears the sound again
Closer than before

It was just a faint little sound
A rustling mouse, is all
Nothing of concern
Nothing at all

As the light turns on he sees
The girls he calls his own
Two daughters of his
Aged seven and three
