Monsters

I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
七歲那年我不再畏懼房間裡的小怪獸
He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
它在浴室六十瓦燈泡的光影下，變成融化的黃油流走了
Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer
每晚睡前都要從老爸店裡的抽屜裡，拿出三電池驅動的大功率手電筒
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
把它藏到我的枕頭下，成為我對抗那怪物的武器
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
現在不再有那樣的不安讓我無法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上我的膝蓋，我也不再持光驅趕
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
我的信仰矢志不渝，讓我的主能日日聽到我的禱告
'Cause I've learned that
因為長大後的我知道了
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪獸並不在我的床下
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
弱小的人會被野狼捕食，就像內心的惡魔在心靈脆弱時才有機可乘
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
腦子裡的陰暗想法藏在不自知的小角落
Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap
貪婪的莖葉得意地佈下惡毒的陷阱，準備著下一盤大餐
You can't avoid 'em all , no, you gotta trust me on that
這些陰暗想法時不時冒上腦尖，人人都一樣
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
但現在不再有那樣的不安讓我無法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上我的膝蓋，我也不再持光驅趕
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
我的信仰矢志不渝，讓我的主能日日聽到我的禱告
'Cause I've learned that
因為長大後的我知道了
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪獸並不在我的床下
Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light
老爸打開我的抽屜，留下浴室的燈光幫我驅趕怪獸
I smile and say 'All clear' when I tuck him in for the night
笑著說自己不怕了，和那隻手電筒一起進入夢鄉
But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
但老爸，我還是害怕，你能否在夜晚緊緊抱著我
I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
我屈下膝蓋對著我的孩子唱到
Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
現在不再有那樣的不安讓你無法入睡了
Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
它不再爬上你的膝蓋，你也無需再持光驅趕
I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
你的信仰會矢志不渝，你的主能會日日聽到我的禱告
'Cause I've learned that
因為長大後，你會知道
The monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
真正的怪獸從來都不在任何人的床下
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
真正的怪獸從來都不在任何人的床下啊
