Goodnight

Momma's coming to tuck me in
She'd give a hug and a kiss and she'd say goodnight
Younger me was so innocent
I asked "Momma, am I gonna die?"

Her eyes got super wide and
She looked at me surprised like a parent would
Her son is scared of dying
And I was only 9 but I prayed to God

No fair I can't bear to turn out the light
Please Lord don't take me away
Mom's here but I'm scared to close my eyes
Don't make me say goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Back and forth I know you're rocking me
Count my blessings every night since I was 13
Still I was wondering at 23
If I don't wake up in my bed, where will I be?

Nobody knew I was lonely
Except for you 'cause you taught me you were the missing piece
God I need you to show me
'Cause I don't know if I'm making it if I don't believe

I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away
It's hard but so far I'm still alive
Don't make me say goodnight

Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight

Free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away
It's hard but so far I'm still alive
Don't make me say goodnight

Am I living for me?
Am I living for people?
What will all of it lead to?
Am I really alive?

God I'm praying for peace
God I'm praying for people
What will all of it lead to?
Momma when will I die?

Wake me from my nightmare
Save me from this dream
Take my life oh Lord
I pray my soul to keep

Free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away
It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight

I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away
It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight

I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away (Take it)
It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight
