Monster In My Closet

There's a monster in my closet, and he calles himself Night He dresses in all black, and he can't stand the light He ventures out at dusk, when the sun has gone down He creeps in shadowed corners, he wears an angry frown All that I can see, are his cold glowing eyes They stare and they glare, they try to hypnotize I used to be weak, and fall under his spell I'd sink into the frozen, dark depths of Hell Every single evening, I'd wait expectantly Nibbling my fingernails, knowing he'd come for me And sure enough he'd show, his gruesome little face He'd reach out and yank me, into that scary place Night by jaded night, I gave in more easily Soon the gloom became, quite comfortable to me In daytime I would feel, like I didn't quite belong No longer did the sunshine, make me brave and strong I'd become a prisoner, of the closet-monster, Night He made me just like him, fearful of the light He robbed me of my happiness, almost every grain The only things he let me keep, were my fear and my pain But then suddenly, what hope I still possessed Tapped me on the shoulder, and told me I was blessed I didn't quite know, what to make of it So I bowed my head and prayed, just a little bit I asked God for strength, and a light for my path Right away he rescued me, from that monster's wrath He showered me with wisdom, and his neverending love He reminded me that strength, comes from up above So now I'm living life, in the sunshine once more And when I need a hand, I just knock on Heaven's door There's a monster in my closet, he calls himself Night When he tries to hypnotize me, I just click on the light
