When I feel oh so tired and I cannot sleep
I run to you to lay in your sheets
To rest my head is easier it seems
than resting my mind and these tossing seas
My desire for rest is exhausting at best
Even with my noblest intentions I cannot resist
but to close my eye to this hopeless abyss
Dreams seem kinder than reality
and the back of my eyelids hide this worlds atrocities
But still I wake in a different time
with an aching head and a heavy mind
This thing I've desired
still not found
This heart so heavy
still earthbound
So rest is not found here
in hiding from my fears
No matter how hidden the cave
I still find myself depraved
I need more than sleep
I need peace and REST
So I run to You
the only place my security is secured
where I can rest my mind and my heart is set free
So when I am oh so tired and I cannot sleep
I run to you and lay at Your feet
resting in the fact that I am where I should be
