Prompt / Lyrics
Nobody tells you the nights don’t end When the world expects you to heal They say, “Rest, you need your sleep” But sleep is the only place they feel real I lie down just to go looking For faces I can’t touch awake Dreams become my only doorway To everything grief won’t let me take Pre-Chorus Morning steals them from me again And I wake up holding air Chorus Nobody tells you You’ll crave the sleep Not for rest But just to see Your babies laughing Calling you “mom” In a world where nothing’s wrong I don’t sleep to escape my pain I sleep to love them again Verse 2 People say dreams don’t mean much But mine carry weight and sound I hear their voices clear as day Then lose them when I’m found Waking up feels like another loss Another goodbye I didn’t choose So I close my eyes a little longer Because dreaming feels closer than truth Pre-Chorus Grief teaches you strange survival Ways to keep breathing through Chorus Nobody tells you You’ll chase the night Just to feel their presence right That sleep becomes a fragile bridge Between your heart and heaven’s edge I don’t rest because I’m tired I rest because I need their touch Dreaming is the only place I get to be their mom Bridge I know I have to live my days I know I have to stay awake But nights are where my soul remembers What daylight had to take If God gives mercy in small forms Then maybe this is one Letting me borrow them in dreams Until reunion comes Final Chorus Nobody tells you How sacred sleep can be When it’s filled with tiny hands Still reaching out to me I wake up broken But grateful too Because for a little while I was with you Outro So if I sleep a little longer Please don’t say I’m running away I’m just visiting my babies In the only way I can today
