There is no god, it's only chance
And no fate, solely circumstance.
The trees whisper. The seas scream.
Suddenly Asleep. Perchance to dream.
There is no comfort, barely hope.
Heartfelt prayer, help me cope.
Old men whisper. Young women scream.
Suddenly Asleep. In peace redeemed.
There is no laughter, only tears
And those awake live with the fears.
The babies whine. Mothers cry.
Suddenly Asleep where angels fly.
I'm here awake. Left behind.
And very angry, an axe to grind.
I want to shout and maybe try
Suddenly Asleep. Just say goodbye.
To meet God! No, not by chance
And tempt fate! Damn the consequence!
Demons whisper. Angels scream.
Suddenly Asleep. My turn to dream.
There is no rain, only sun.
And no work, purely fun.
Fairies giggle. Delight my soul.
Again Awake. Unwell. Unwhole.
And so I rant. Argue. Plead.
Please come back. I still need
Your gentle smile. Beautiful laugh.
Suddenly Asleep. My other half.
There is no faith, only grief.
Even with my firm belief
We'll meet again on sunny shores...
For awhile at least, I had more.
To hold your hand, gently squeeze,
A sacrifice if you please.
Trade me instead, end my life.
Give my friend back his wife.
I know its not fair, it ain't right
To keep saying no to every plight
For one more day, one more call,
Suddenly Asleep would be my all
There are some more, yes, the brothers
And husband, friends and countless others
Just one more day, even one more hour
Hear all the prayers. Show your power
Yes, Lord I know sometimes chance
Is a part of free will and circumstance,
But I don't understand, I can't comprehend.
Suddenly Asleep. my heart wont mend.
There is no strength, it always rains
There is no hope, just lonely pains.
My head aches from tears I can't cry.
Suddenly Asleep. I love you. Goodbye.
