There was this night I couldn't sleep
I've always kind of always kind of
Struggled with early mornings and I
I dunno maybe like half five quarter to six
I couldn't sleep

'Cause I was like I think just kind of
Yeah worrying and anxious
And not feeling so good
And not, not feeling so good

And I got up and went to the park
I've always kind of always kind of
Struggled with early mornings and I
Probably got there at like 6am
And it was absolutely quiet

Like there was no one in the park
And the sun was coming up and er
And I just kind of sat at the top of this hill and um
At the top of this hill and um

'The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you
Don't go back to sleep
You must ask for what you really want
Don't go back to sleep'

Just said the poem out loud
Looking into the sun
And just felt really peaceful 
Just said the poem out loud

'There are people passing back and forth across the doorsill
Where the two worlds touch
The door is round and open
Don't go back to sleep'

I think I think being inside is probably the biggest challenge
The other day I decided to look out of my window for like thirty minutes
I'll probably lose it soon if I don't get some sunlight
The sun kind of rises by my window
And sometimes when there's a full moon
I'll probably lose it soon if I don't get some sunlight, sunlight
Looking at the moon looking at the moon looking at the moon looking at the

Like it could be anything we could just walk through the park
Don't go back to
Walk through
Don't go back to
Walk through 
Feel the sun on the skin and on the skin and the sun on the skin and the sun on the skin
Don't go back to sleep

'Cause this window here
This piece of sky
I can rest my eye but
Don't go back to sleep
This new piece of sky is like new life to me
This new piece of sky is like new life to me	

It would be nice to spend more time	
It would be nice to spend more time out in the middle of nowhere
Um where that nowhere is 
On the top of the hill on the top of the hill on the top of the hill
Or a beach or wherever
Just being able to stand and look
Just being able to stand and look

I'll probably lose it soon if I don't
Lose it soon if I don't
If I don't
If I don't get some sunlight

I'll probably lose it soon if I don't
Lose it soon if I don't
If I don't
If I don't get some sunlight

'Cause this window here
This piece of sky
I can rest my eye but
Don't go back to sleep
This new piece of sky is like new life to me
This new piece of sky is like new life to me

Don't go back to sleep
Don't got back to sleep
Don't go back to sleep
Don't go back to sleep

Then I sit and I look
Don't go back to sleep
That's like ten fifteen minutes 
Don't go back to sleep
Looking at the moon
Don't go back to sleep
I have good lighting in my room because
Don't go back to sleep
The sun kind of rises by my window
Some blackbirds and robins and a little jenny wren
Some blackbirds and robins and a little jenny wren
Some blackbirds and robins and a little jenny wren 
Don't go back to sleep

And it's so beautiful and I
And it's so beautiful and I
And it's so beautiful and I
(The smell of the spring, the smell of the spring)
And it's so beautiful and I
(The smell of the spring, the smell of the spring)
This piece of sky 
(Some blackbirds and robins and a little jenny wren)
I can rest my eye
And it's so beautiful and I
Don't go back to sleep

I went out and saw like this new piece of sky
'Cause my window here, this piece of sky
That piece of sky that was out of our gate, was like the two
Was the two things that I can see
That I can rest my eye with
And the day that I can see this new piece of sky out of our community 
Was like this new life for me
It was so refreshing

I live in a, in a flat but we have a small place outside 
And I really remember his smile all the time that I just open the door 
And he could go out and breathe the, the air, the, feel the sun on the skin
On the skin this was really the, yes 
The best memories. Just open the door

The smell of the spring, the smell of the spring, the smell of the spring
Hear the birds singing
Feel the sun on the skin and on the skin and the sun on the skin and on the skin
Hear the birds singing
The smell of the spring, the smell of the spring, the smell of the spring
Hear the birds singing

Even if, you know, um 
Even if people die and and things go wrong 
Or I die or anything else it's it's
It's all okay
