Sleepless Night

My head pounding All I hear is the thump, thump, thump Like a bad reggae band sounding I wish my spirit would just soar above this dump Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the nightmares all go away Please no more visions, no more demons, and creeps Let me awaken to a sunny day Sunshine and roses Not bullets flying, sinking deep into flesh Blue birds and turtle doves No more sense of blood so fresh Try as she may it never goes away Watch the food before you sleep But still they return at the closing of the day Make it stop, I wish to see no more tonight, breathe in, breathe deep Read the good book Send it all far, far away I will pass this night by hook or by crook Awakening to a brighter day is what I pray I wish I may, I wish I might Dream no more of darkness Help me to walk in the light Raise me high above my distress
