I used to cry whenever it was time to go to bed I didn't want to waste the nighttime that I still had left I knew that 10pm was a million hours too soon So I drank a wishing potion and wished upon the moon I wished to never sleep and to be happy all the time And I wished to live a thousand years so I'd be filled with life Now when children cast a wish upon the moon, their wish comes true So I have lived a thousand years and now I'm telling you That everyone deserves a chance to choose the path ahead And if you don't like bedtimes, then just stay awake instead Cause I've been awake a thousand years and what a life I've led It's amazing how much life you've got when you never rest your head I'll sleep when I'm dead I started out with 20 years of looking at the sky And I splashed in every puddle that I found while running by I spent 100 years just making friends with all the trees And it thrilled me to no end to know that they would outlive me I've made a million people friends, and though they've come and gone Just to know that life is temporary helped me to move on Though I don't remember all my stories, I know I've done enough Cause every road I've taken I have tried to fill with love And if anyone would ask me why I tread the path I tread I'd tell them life's too beautiful to ever go to bed And now I've spoke my mind a thousand years and left nothing unsaid Cause in life you get one wish and mine's to live with no regrets I'll sleep when I'm dead And now I lay here dying after life a thousand years It's been an awesome ride but now it's time to disappear So as I close my eyes don't be afraid to say goodbye But please don't cry about me, try to smile and think of life Now I hope you've learned your lesson, and forget me if you may But don't forget the joy that you can find along your way Oh, I wanted to find happiness like a million dreamers do And when children cast a wish upon the moon their wish comes true Cause everyone deserves a chance to choose the path ahead And if you don't like bedtimes, then just stay awake instead Cause I've been awake a thousand years and what a life I've led It's amazing how much life you've got when you never rest your head So now I'll sleep when I'm dead I'll sleep when I'm deeeeaadddd I'll sleep when I'm deeeeaadddd I'll sleep when I'm deeeeaadddd I'll go to sleep when I'm dead
