Sleepless
Regina had a kid that kept her home
Kept her whole
He made her sleepless though
Silas was alone he had no known associates
Had no hope
He went out solo at the end of a rope
What can I say?
She could make it through a day
But he don't like to fight
He couldn't make it through the night
He had a fear of the dawn
Of the light
It must be good to be a mom he said
To rest your head where you are wanted
It ain't like that she told him just stand up
Just walk right
He said thanks but then came life
She found a way
She could always find a way anyway
He was never right never strong enough
He never fell but was afraid that he might
So he held the girl that said I love you
Thought he heard I love you too
His sister said I love you boy
He just heard la la la
Sorrow the mountain will not move
And we all kneel there
What you love you will lose
And who's to say that it is wrong
Or why what makes you stronger might break your brother?
Just hold one another
What can I say?
Can you make it through a day
Or just half a day?
You don't have to fight
If you let me I will protect you
And I'm people at the office
I'm people on the road
I'm people at the corner store
I'm people in the club
I'm the girl who says I love you
Mom and Dad they love you too
Your sister said she loves you baby
I'm alone and I know you
It ain't just la la la
Kept her whole
He made her sleepless though
Silas was alone he had no known associates
Had no hope
He went out solo at the end of a rope
What can I say?
She could make it through a day
But he don't like to fight
He couldn't make it through the night
He had a fear of the dawn
Of the light
It must be good to be a mom he said
To rest your head where you are wanted
It ain't like that she told him just stand up
Just walk right
He said thanks but then came life
She found a way
She could always find a way anyway
He was never right never strong enough
He never fell but was afraid that he might
So he held the girl that said I love you
Thought he heard I love you too
His sister said I love you boy
He just heard la la la
Sorrow the mountain will not move
And we all kneel there
What you love you will lose
And who's to say that it is wrong
Or why what makes you stronger might break your brother?
Just hold one another
What can I say?
Can you make it through a day
Or just half a day?
You don't have to fight
If you let me I will protect you
And I'm people at the office
I'm people on the road
I'm people at the corner store
I'm people in the club
I'm the girl who says I love you
Mom and Dad they love you too
Your sister said she loves you baby
I'm alone and I know you
It ain't just la la la
