Hopes and Dreams Beyond Repair

While  it  sleeps  I’m  up  all  night Can’t  seem  to  find  a  way  to  make  it  right…

The  sun,    I  know,    will  rise  again To  start  this  life,    anew,    and  then New  hope  from  friend,  from  God,    my  soul To  pray  for  peace  and  kindness.      Make  me  whole

While  I  sleep,  it’s  up  all  night Licks  it’s  wounds,    it  lost  this  fight

I  found  my  way,    this  life  is  mine I  experience  it  only,  a  day  at  a  time Sometimes  quickly,  sometime  slow

I’ll  wake  the  same,    get  up  and  go Tony  L.
