[Intro - hazy spoken word over echoing guitar] Yeah... lights dim... head hits the pillow... ever wonder why we sleep... [Verse 1] Alarm done rung, day beat me down, Sweat and struggle in this concrete town. Failures stack like ashes in the tray, Hard times rollin', tryin' to lead me astray. But when the sun dip low and the shadows creep, Body callin' me to that deep, deep sleep. God designed it, not by mistake, Time to lay it all down before daybreak. [Chorus - anthemic, soulful gang harmonies] Ever wonder why we sleep at the end of the day? So we can repent, wash the sins away. Pray for guidance through the smoke and the fight, Wake up renewed in the morning light. Thru hard times, failures, and the joy we hold, It all begins here when the night unfolds. Through Christ all things are possible, yeah I believe, In the quiet darkness my soul finds peace. [Verse 2] Joy in the laughter, pain in the grind, Family around but storms in my mind. Mistakes I made, words I wish I could take, But mercy waits when the eyes start to fade. Porch light off, blunt burnin' slow, Thank You Father for lettin' me let it go. Repent in the silence, pray for the way, Start fresh tomorrow, live another day. [Chorus] Ever wonder why we sleep at the end of the day? So we can repent, wash the sins away. Pray for guidance through the smoke and the fight, Wake up renewed in the morning light. Thru hard times, failures, and the joy we hold, It all begins here when the night unfolds. Through Christ all things are possible, yeah I believe, In the quiet darkness my soul finds peace. [Bridge - slower, heavy psych breakdown with reggae skank] When the weight get heavy and I can't see clear, I close my eyes... and I feel You near... "Rest My child, release what you hold, Tomorrow's mercy gonna shine like gold..." No failure too dark, no joy too bright, Sleep is the reset in the still of the night... [Final Chorus - bigger, layered with ad-libs] Ever wonder why we sleep... end of the day? Repent and pray, let the old fade away. Thru every hard time, every fall, every win, It begins right here when the new day spins. Through Christ all things possible — never alone, Wake up stronger... ready to roll on... Yeah... ever wonder why we sleep... Thank You Lord... for the peace so deep... [Outro - fading fuzzy guitar solo + soft reggae bass] Sleep... repent... renew.
