Within the shadows lurk monsters
Who live on all our fears
They hide away from laughter
And feed upon our tears
The monsters thrive on misery
They grow when you feel sad
Or when they hear an angry word
In times when you’ve been mad
To keep them in the shadows
Stand tall forever proud
To keep away the misery
And let yourself laugh loud
