Something that bothers us while we sleep,
Have you felt something similar?
Waking in the middle of the night
Just to realize how old you are?
Thinking how close the next age is
and how far your last age was.
When will we die?
Where will we be after that?
Feeling comfortable
just thinking how good the rest would be.
Feeling depressed and sad,
thinking about those who love you.
What are they going to feel?
Why these thoughts?
Why do they come in the middle of the night?
How do they dare interrupt my sleep?
Please! Go away!
Let my sleep take control
What comes next is what will matter.

Something that bothers us while we sleep,
Have you felt something similar?
Waking in the middle of the night
Just to realize how old you are?
Thinking how close the next age is
and how far your last age was.
When will we die?
Where will we be after that?
Feeling comfortable
just thinking how good the rest would be.
Feeling depressed and sad,
thinking about those who love you.
What are they going to feel?
Why these thoughts?
Why do they come in the middle of the night?
How do they dare interrupt my sleep?
Please! Go away!
Let my sleep take control
What comes next is what will matter.
