[00:00.25]I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
[00:06.18]He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
[00:11.96]Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer
[00:17.99]Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
[00:23.61]Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[00:29.99]Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[00:36.13]I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
[00:42.37]'Cause I've learned that
[00:43.93]The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[00:53.24]The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
[00:59.00]A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
[01:04.76]Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap
[01:11.03]You can't avoid 'em all, no, you gotta trust me on that
[01:17.07]Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[01:23.06]Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[01:29.29]I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
[01:35.38]'Cause I've learned that
[01:37.28]The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[02:07.68]Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light
[02:13.59]I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
[02:19.67]But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
[02:25.88]I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
[02:32.84]Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[02:39.30]Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[02:45.27]I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
[02:51.45]'Cause I've learned that
[02:53.17]The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[02:59.02]I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
