The world out there
The heavens all to sleep
And I am here
A watch with you to keep

Sleep on... sleep on... sleep deep and sleep strong
Sleep on... sleep on... the road of life is long
I whisper a prayer, may your path be clear
Sleep on

May you be wise
In answer to your call
May you still rise
If ever you should fall

Sleep on... sleep on... sleep deep and sleep strong
Sleep on... sleep on... the road of life is long
I whisper a prayer, may your path be clear
Sleep on
Sleep on... sleep on!
