Eight Full Hours of Sleep

When you sleep

No one is homeless

When you sleep

You can't feel the hunger

When you sleep

No one is lonely in a dream

Without classes

Without nations...

When you sleep

She's standing there with open arms

And one night could last forever

And if you asked her

She'd never let go

And you'd stay forever...

And the sun's always rising

In the sky somewhere

And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...

Let the new night bring you peace

And the promise of tomorrow

Where we can wake to a new beginning

Tomorrow I'll all but have lost their faces;

My friends and family

Memories of all we had

And the times we should have lived

And tomorrow America just might fall apart

Tomorrow, tell me

Where will you wake up?

Beyond title, beyond these careers and laws

Something more than borders on a map...

And the sun's always rising in the sky somewhere

And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...

To live through one night like this

I would trade it for the silence...
