Monsters couldn't phase me
Thunderstorms never did
I will hide inside my box
Like when I was just a kid
I have my tattered blanket
And old white grungy bear
You think this is ridiculous
But, I really don't give a care
If the wind howls at night
I think I like that the best
Curled up inside of my box
I will build a blanket nest
At times I don't like people
So straight to my box I go
It's quiet and it's safe there
And no one will ever know
Life can be very mean to me
But, I have a place I can cry
My box is always waiting
And yesterday's tears are dry
My home away from home
Is my little box on this earth
You think it's only cardboard
You'll never know it's worth
They come in everyones size
And best of all there free too
So if you need a box like me
There's one out there for you
