Lyrics
All my life I was afraid of a monster
See him peeking from behind a tree
Hear him whisper softly as I wander
And this is what he’d say to me
Life is hard
The world is scary
People can be cruel
Then one day I found him right behind me
So I invited him in for tea
He said I’d only gotten half of the story
This is what he’d tried to say to me
Life is hard, don’t get numb
The world is scary, but you belong
People can be cruel but you’ll find
They are far more often kind
Found he has a certain kind of sweetness
Like molasses in my tea
When the world gets overwhelming
On the bridge between awake and asleep
I hear him say
Life is hard, don’t get numb
The world is scary, but you belong
People can be cruel but you’ll find
They are far more often kind
