I feel like I’m just waking up
from a sleep that’s lasted years;
With angels and demons crowding my dreams
and weeping that shed no tears.

With hesitation I open my eyes
and the nightmare images fade;
Squinting up at a brand new day
I find I’m no longer afraid.

CHORUS
A long sleep is sometimes all you need
when life throws too many lemons;
Recharge and heal and sometime soon
You’ll realize you’ve created a heaven.

Feeling joy can seem unreal
in times when life is hollow;
But pressing on when you want to rest
Shines a light that others will follow.

Bridge
I feel like I’m just waking up
and finally returning to me;
Bring the day and warm my soul
and shine bright for all to see.

Shine bright for all to see.

CHORUS
A long sleep is sometimes all you need
when life throws too many lemons;
Recharge and heal and sometime soon
You’ll find you’ve created a heaven.

Wake up and create your heaven.
