Pat Barrett's song "Scatter" is a contemporary worship anthem about finding courage and peace in God's presence. The lyrics address fear and darkness, declaring that believers belong to the light and that God owns the night. The song emphasizes that through praise, the enemy scatters and strongholds shatter, and it encourages listeners to command the spirit of fear to leave. With a repetitive, declarative structure, it builds a sense of confidence and victory, reminding Christians that God has already won the fight. The overall message is one of faith, hope, and the power of praise to overcome spiritual battles.

I don't need to be afraid of the darkness
I belong to the light
Every shadows got to run from the fire
You own the night
I don't need to be afraid of the battle
When I'm by your side
I've seen the end of this story
You win the fight
Light the fire in my soul
Tell the darkness where to go
I don't need to be afraid of the battle
When I'm by Your side
Cause I've seen the end of this story
You win the fight
Light the fire
In my soul
Tell the darkness
Where to go
Light the fire
In my soul
Tell the darkness
Where to go
Where to go
When we praise
When we praise
The enemy scatters
In your name
In your name
Strongholds shatter
When we praise
When we praise
The enemy scatters
In your name
In your name
Strongholds shatter
Tell the spirit of fear
He's gotta go
He's gotta go
Light the fire
In my soul
Tell the darkness
Where to go
Where to go
Light the fire
In my soul
Tell the darkness
Where to go
Where to go
When we praise
When we praise
The enemy scatters
In your name
In your name
Strongholds shatter
When we praise
When we praise
The enemy scatters
In your name
In your name
Strongholds shatter
Tell the spirit of fear
He's gotta go
Tell the spirit of fear
He's gotta go
He's gotta go
Tell the spirit of fear
He's gotta go
Tell the spirit of fear
He's gotta go
He's gotta go
