As I Slept

                              As I sleep, I can feel you near

                    Rubbing my back, I feel I have nothing to fear 

                                 On my pillow, falls a tear 

                  You've lifted the weight, I've carried this past year 

                    I can hear you whisper in my ear, "it'll be alright 

                 For me to sleep, sleep like I never have before tonight 

                    Even though I can hear this, I can't say anything

           You say you're proud of my accomplishments, and the joy I bring

                  How I've grown to be the man, you've always expected

                   That mistakes are to be made, as long as I respect it

                       Correct what went wrong, and strive for better

                   As I dream I see you there, wearing this wool sweater

                         You wipe my tears, but they continue to fall

                  You tell me you love me, then disappear through the wall

                                 As I slept, the sleep you said

                      I felt this sense of comfort, last night in my bed
