Now I lay me down to sleep,
To find a place away to creep.
Into caves or under coves.
A place where I can be alone.
Let me lay myself to pray,
May tomorrow be a better day,
With no more tempers, no more pain.
Please let this be,
Dear Lord, I pray.
Now I lay me down to rest.
At least I know I've tried my best.
There's no more now that I can do.
My mind is straying far from you.
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray Dear Lord, restore my peace.
Don't let me wake to see the sky,
Just let me wander in my mind.
I long to fall into my dreams,
Away from my uncertainties.
In sleep there's peace,
Some time away.
Inside my mind I'll feel no pain.
My own escape to help me through;
To find some time away from you.
