While you were sleeping

Here I was watching, mind eating
Here I was putting myself in
Here I was candles burning, heart beating
Here I was laying skin

While you were sleeping

Here they are to read, lay their words
Here they are straining
Here they are sharing, flipping birds
Here they are sailing

While you were sleeping

Very few know their names, show their face
Very few will dare
Very few drive hard, earn their place
Very few will care

While you were sleeping

They took it all, what they knew
They took it in the dark
They took the old, made it new
They took it with a spark

While you were sleeping

He thought them smart, thought it hard
He thought it was secure
He thought it false, left his guard
He thought it all impure

While you were sleeping

Here life changed, it began
Here life was born
Here life grew, it sang
Here life was torn

While you were sleeping

Chances come, and they die
Chances come and go
Chances few, reach the sky
Chances come to grow

While you were sleeping

Here I sit, day and night
Here I lay it all
Here I talk, start a fight
Here I stand up tall

While you were sleeping

Time runs away, never will return
Time runs into day
Time runs out, gets burned
Time runs out of say

While you were sleeping

He hopes here, has some dreams
He hopes he earns stake
He hopes here, has some streams
He hopes when you awake

While you were sleeping

Give you enough, provide more
Give you full shelf
Give you space, give you store
Give you all myself

While you were sleeping.
