Original Lyrics:
Awake and wide asleep
Awake and wide asleep
Never thought the world would sleep past noon
Never thought the world would sleep past it's own doom
I never saw it crying in it's bed
I never saw it lay down it's own head
How can it sleep?
Why can it sleep?
How can I sleep?
Why can't I?
Awake and wide asleep
There's troubles seeing my own two feet
I never saw them struggle like I did
I never saw them live what I have lived
How can they sleep?
Why can they sleep?
How can I sleep?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Sleep
