LYRICS

I killed my first monster when I was 7 years old
He melted like butter in my bathroom’s 60-watt bulb
Kept a 3-cell Maglite from Daddy’s workshop drawer
Under my pillow and I’d pull it like a sword

Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
Fallin’ on my knees is my new turnin’ on the light
I keep my faith intact and make sure my prayers are said
‘Cause I’ve learned that the monsters ain’t the ones beneath the bed

The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin’ in the dark
Greed stalks, sickness steals and pride lays a wicked trap
You can’t avoid ‘em all, no, you gotta trust me on that

Anymore when a restless feelin’ keeps me up at night
Fallin’ on my knees is my new turnin’ on the light
I keep my faith intact and make sure my prayers are said
‘Cause I’ve learned that the monsters ain’t the ones beneath the bed

Daddy, check my closet and leave on the bathroom light
I smile and say, all clear, when I tuck him in for the night
But Daddy, I’m still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head

Anymore when a restless feelin’ keeps me up at night
Fallin’ on my knees is my new turnin’ on the light
I keep my faith intact and make sure my prayers are said
‘Cause I’ve learned that the monsters ain’t the ones beneath the bed

And I’ve learned that the monsters ain’t underneath the bed
