Sleepless

Regina had a kid that kept her home

Kept her whole

He made her sleepless though

Silas was alone he had no known associates

Had no hope

He went out solo at the end of a rope

What can I say?

She could make it through a day

But he don't like to fight

He couldn't make it through the night

He had a fear of the dawn

Of the light

It must be good to be a mom he said

To rest your head where you are wanted

It ain't like that she told him just stand up

Just walk right

He said thanks but then came life

She found a way

She could always find a way anyway

He was never right never strong enough

He never fell but was afraid that he might

So he held the girl that said I love you

Thought he heard I love you too

His sister said I love you boy

He just heard la la la

Sorrow the mountain will not move

And we all kneel there

What you love you will lose

And who's to say that it is wrong

Or why what makes you stronger might break your brother?

Just hold one another

What can I say?

Can you make it through a day

Or just half a day?

You don't have to fight

If you let me I will protect you

And I'm people at the office

I'm people on the road

I'm people at the corner store

I'm people in the club

I'm the girl who says I love you

Mom and Dad they love you too

Your sister said she loves you baby

I'm alone and I know you

It ain't just la la la
