May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep

Despite the wolves outside your door

In time you will see them all as harmless

And their idle threats easy to ignore



And if ever fate should choose to smite you

Stand your ground, never walk away

Please don't ever let the world defeat you

Don't get buried in its decay



As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams

May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe

For it only takes a fraction of a second

For all of this to change



CHORUS

Return to me

When slumber's fog has lifted

Return to me

Stronger than before



As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time

May you be thankful that you had another day

For there comes a time when each of us will enter

A sleep from which we will never wake



And if ever fate should choose to smite you

Stand your ground, never walk away

Please don't ever let the world defeat you

Don't get buried in its decay



Close your eyes now, if only for a moment

For it's time you get some rest

The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you

Let go of your fragile consciousness
