When you sleep, no one is homeless
When you sleep, you can't feel the hunger
When you sleep, no one is lonely in a dream
Without classes, without nations
When you sleep, she's standing there with open arms
And one night could last forever
And if you asked her, she'd never let go
And you'd stay forever
And the sun's always rising in the sky somewhere
And if young hearts should explode
From all the lies they've been told
Let the new night bring you peace and the promise of tomorrow
Where we can wake to a new beginning
Tomorrow I'll all but have lost their faces
My friends and family, memories of all we had
And the times we should have lived
And tomorrow America just might fall apart
Tomorrow, tell me where will you wake up?
Beyond title, beyond these careers and laws
Something more than borders on a map
And the sun's always rising in the sky somewhere
And if young hearts should explode from all the lies they've been told
To live through one night like this
I would trade it for the silence
