An Insomniac's Tale

As the last light of the day fades away

I find my mind trying to lead me astray

My body is weary and ready for rest

But my thoughts try to take me on a most lengthy quest

Thus is the way it goes most every night

I fight dragons and demons with all my might

Just to try and get a little sleep

Wishing for lullabies instead of haunting melodies that make me weep

Help me oh God, I cry unto thee

Grant me peace and serenity

Take away my nightmares and let me find rest

Go with me in my dreams and let them be blessed
