lyrics

With eyelids closed to rest
You'll have none of the bad thoughts
Nothing that's bad at all
Hands that fold across the chest
To guard your heart from the daggers and demons
If I could sing you to sleep
You think you'd rest so peaceful
Without the memories that creep inside

She's got a world to face
Reputation to uphold
Smile to keep in place
"She's just a girl," they say
"Expectations are too bold"
"She'll never maintain that pace"

So take a page from the idols who never quit
They never said "enough"
Grab a pen, write a title as you see fit
"A world that's filled with love"

He's got a job to do
People depending on his
Commitment to follow through
Too many things accrue
He must default his promise
Worst nightmares coming true

So take advice from the heroes who learned to fly
First they had to learn to fall
With an effort that's zero, without fight
You'll never do anything at all

With eyelids closed to rest
You'll have none of the bad thoughts
Nothing that's bad at all
Hands that fold across the chest
To guard your heart from the daggers and demons
If I could sing you to sleep
You think you'd rest so peaceful
Without the memories that creep inside
And make you doubt the things you could be

We've all got mountains to climb
With baggage to carry
And burdens to weigh us down
So find the strength in your heart and your mind
Let the past just get buried
See potential all around

So take a line from the poets who chose to write
Turned all their pain into their fuel
Build a boat, learn to row it, take your strife
And squeeze it into a jewel

Don't you let them bring you down
You've got everything: potential to be the best
Would you rather be in the ground?
That's the only way to guarantee your lost

With eyelids closed to rest
You'll have none of the bad thoughts
Nothing that's good at all
Hands that fold across the chest
Will block your heart from all lovers and true friends
If singing kept you from sleep
I'd spend every breath on you
Just so that I'd keep you alive
And show you all the things we'd achieve
