..... I close my eyes and try to sleep
But late night hours I now keep
I am awake all hours through the night
Tossing, turning, struggling until day light.

..... I close my eyes and try to sleep
But the tears flow, and I begin to weep
Feeling overwhelmed, feeling stress
I want to give up, this is what I confess.

..... I close my eyes and try to sleep
But tiny chatter remains to speak
Nothing seems to work for me
Why can�t this life let me be.

..... I close my eyes and try to sleep
Comfort of my soul is what I seek
Was it something that I said
Running thoughts through my head.

..... I close my eyes and try to sleep
Insomnia in control, and at its peak
Somehow, someway let this body rest
I give up, don�t put me through this test.
