Verse 1

In a child's Eyes the worlds a brand new place.
And he asks the question why the world keeps such a pace.
And he watches all the rest who pass with a hardened face.
All doing their best to sit in on the race.

I was a child with a million other deams.
and I had plans for doing better things.
I would be the king, i would save society.
and as I lay to rest I hear them telling me.

they said...

Chorus

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.


Verse 2

My reflection that I see shows a child that used to hope.
And he lives behind the shell that he wears to try to cope.
Hes callin me to listen to the feelings that i hide.
But as I turn away I tell the child inside.

I said..

Chorus

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.


Verse 3

Make me to remember what it is im living for.
And what were all thoes dreams? dont remember anymore.
In keeping up with life dead ambitions died away
As i tuck my kids in bed will they hear me sadly say?

Chorus

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.

Sleep While you can.
Dream of a better day.
But when you're a man.
You'll have to play our way.
