180. " WHEN I CANNOT SLEEP," 3/4, LYRICS/MELODY BY LOLO BOMBOY, SEPT. 22, 2013

LYRICS:
-
When I cannot sleep
Just lying in bed
Then I start to think
That I'm way ahead
Some people don't have
A thing to lie on
They're out in the street
Out there in the cold
-
Though I'm not a king
I am not that poor
I still can have meals
That I can afford
I have shoes to wear
And clothes on my back
Though I don't have much
There's not much I lack
-
I struggle through pain
Just like all the rest
But I have loved ones
Who love me the best
I can run to them
Each time I need help
They're always so near
To make me feel safe
-
And so I must count
The blessings I keep
And hope in the end
That I fall asleep
