Lyrics

I?m Seeing Monsters by Duane Wahl

Every person in the world is loving ? God made them that way
You say, ?We all have a good side;
And we?re just tryin? to make ends meet from day to day?

But I?m lookin? ahead, I?m watchin? behind,
Do I see a stranger?
I trust no one, I?m always on guard. I hate to be that way.
It?s all true what you say, & I love what you think,
But we?re just so different.
?Cause I?m seeing monsters -- people act that way.

All the stories that I hear are tragic.
Like children, starved for love,
Trusting strangers who betray them.
And worried mothers praying for some help from above.

But they?re wasting their time, I think we?re alone with all this danger.
A man with a gun, some kid with a knife, you never know your fate.
There?s people around who?ll take you down if you look the wrong way.
There?s monsters out there, could be it?s just too late.

Sometimes even your best friends turn into your worst enemies;
But I know everything?ll be alright, as long as you?re with me.

But I?m lookin? ahead, I?m watchin? behind,
Do I see a stranger?
I trust no one, I?m always on guard. I hate to be that way.
It?s all true what you say & I love what you think
But we?re just so different.
?Cause I?m seeing monsters -- people act that way.

Every person in the world is loving.
