up late can't sleep
thinking about what is and will be
thinking about today and tomorrow
who and what will we be?
up late can't sleep
fearing for an uncertain future
fearing the unprejudiced equalizer Fate
who lurks beyond what my mortal eyes can see.
up late can't sleep
hoping that he'll think about me
hoping that, just maybe, our souls are linked
that maybe something greater, together, we can be.
up late can't sleep
wondering how and why i exist
wondering how and why i persist
to ask myself questions unanswerable by me.
such late night musings always expose the heart,
you see?
and so on this bed i lie:
up late can't sleep.
