Sleepless Dream
I lay me down to sleep
My thoughts I give spirits high
Wondering way out in the dark
This sleepless dream I live awake
This endless journey I travel alone
I soar with eyes wide open
My flight filled with clouds I ride
This sleepless dream I fight for darkness
No sleep in life do I find to rest
But in dream I find no truth
My mind laid in thoughts untold
My being crush but alive I stay
The sleepless dream I toss and roll
In dream I find no answers
Things make no sense I hold in silence
My untold dreams what do they mean
As I struggle to find peace in sleep
This sleepless dream of life's deceit
In love we find in our heart
Happiness we find in a smile
In night air we find unexpected
The things unimaginable in the dark
But in life we find pursuit of more
As we lay awake with eyes close
This sleepless dream takes control
As we fight era of ways once more
A way of life's existence plays out
Another sleepless dream I fight
As I strive to know lifes meaning of all
But struggle to find hope in darkness
This sleepless dream should I find peace
That my journey be fill with rest
And my life with ease of sleep
