Asleep, Wide Awake

I. THE FLOOD

Not long ago I slipped away
And now I'm searching for a trace
A feeling, a hole in my life

It almost seems I can't go on
My afterimage surely gone
I'm drowning, I'm lost in the tide

Through the mist I caught a glimpse
Of the child trapped inside
I'm reaching, why can't I get through?

Though I strain my voice so hard
Not a word is ever heard
I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake
I'm fighting, fighting to wake

[CHORUS]

I was lost, lost in the flood
I will search for the child whose lost inside
He bears the scars of time

In the moment that I fell
I didn't know that I was down
Dreaming, I opened my eyes

I'd give my dreams just to wake
Sound my voice and clear the haze
I'm drifting, I'm floating away
I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake

[CHORUS]

I was lost, lost in the flood
I will search for the child whose lost inside

Though it seems the sleep is here to stay
I can't give up, I must somehow stir awake
Love still flows, it's just lost in the haze
I can't let pain turn my heart to clay
A simple prayer for you my friend...
May God let all your troubles end.

A feeling, a hole in my life
I'm drowning, I'm lost in the tide
I'm sleeping, asleep wide awake
I'm fighting, fighting to wake

Though it seems the sleep is here to stay
I can't give up, I must somehow stir awake
Love still flows, it's just lost in the haze
I can't let pain turn my heart to clay
The flood that comes is drowning me
It carries me to the open sea
I'm sinking in the stagnant pools
I've learned to play the bitter fool
Lost inside the wall of sleep
The innocent child is there for keeps
A simple prayer for you my dear...
May all your troubles disappear.

II. REFLECTIONS

I was lost, lost in the flood
I'm the one, who is always here for yo
