The World Sleeps
The World Sleeps
The world sleeps
As I keep vigil
The enemy is not without
But within
Let me hold the hands of strangers
Who fear the coming tomorrow
By helping them dream
Of a sunnier morrow
Let them dream
As I keep awake,
Let them not fear to slumber
As upon my shoulders
Their heads do rest.
Happy dreams pass by the blessed
As I can see them smile,
As they rest.

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.
