There's a monster mommy
It's hidden under my bed as I lay
It's big and ugly it makes me scared mommy
It's invisible but I can feel it everyday
It waits for me to sleep so it can haunt my dreams mommy
The thing just wont go away


It's been ten years mom
I'm grown up now
The monster lurking beneath is still there mom
You told me it'd go away if I stand up and take a bow
I did just as you told me mom
Ten years I held on to that vow
The monster grew up with me mom
It's no longer just under my bed I avow


You're gone now mother
The monster is still with me
I wish it could just disappear mother
It follows me everywhere when I just want to be free
It has a name mother
A name we are all scared of I guarentee
I hope you hear all I tell you mother
The monster is now something I see
I think you saw it once too mother
The name of the monster is life I plea
