I never woke up today.
In my mind did I stay
I stole the time
To be used in waking
I folded my mind
Into a basket for taking
I never woke up today
To the breeze I spoke
I shouted a psalm
My voice it broke
With no liquid to balm
I never woke up today
In silence I checked
My heart
Is it beating?
Behind me my regrets
My future I am seeking
Never to find again
I never woke up today
I dreamt a dream
In the dream I dreamt
I dreamt a dream
For the dream was my dream
Where I dreamt dreams
So I never woke up today
Heaven holds a sense of promise
I guess that much is true'

I never woke up today.
In my mind did I stay
I stole the time
To be used in waking
I folded my mind
Into a basket for taking
I never woke up today
To the breeze I spoke
I shouted a psalm
My voice it broke
With no liquid to balm
I never woke up today
In silence I checked
My heart
Is it beating?
Behind me my regrets
My future I am seeking
Never to find again
I never woke up today
I dreamt a dream
In the dream I dreamt
I dreamt a dream
For the dream was my dream
Where I dreamt dreams
So I never woke up today
Heaven holds a sense of promise
I guess that much is true'
