Nite Lite

Lyrics

Mommy keep the monsters back Keep the door open just a crack All I need's that small shaft of light to send them scurrying back into the night All the things that I can't see and all the things that I can't hear How do they pertain to me Should these things be the things I fear? Tell me now as I get older will that angel stay upon my shoulder? Tell me now if I pray will that angel stay? All the things that I can't feel and all the things I've never believed Does that mean that these things aren't real? Could it be I've been deceived? How does one put up defenses against what exists beyond the senses? Tell me now if I pray will that angel stay or fly away? Mommy keep the monsters back... Are they in the closet, under the bed, no the monsters are all here in my head Cause we all know where the bad boys go Good boys go to heaven and bad boys go below
