Eyes closed tight
to block out the light.
You fight this fight
night after night.
But there's too much on your mind,
And now you're way behind.
Sleep, child.
Go on, you need it.
I'll stay awake with you,
Even though I don't need to,
Even though I can't see you,
I'll stay awake too.
To see if I can understand
and take your troubles off your hands
so you can sleep, child.
Because you need it.
