Now, my only goal is to see And I'm always fast asleep It takes more than strength to find This peace of mind So I'll hold, hold, hold Hold it close to my heart Beating with every step Hold, hold, hold it close He sleeps alone He needs no army where he's headed 'Cause he knows That they're just ghosts And they can't hurt him if he can't see them, oh And I may go To places I have never been to Just to find The deepest desires in my mind We, we only know what we see 'Cause we're always fast asleep Is it so hard not to believe That we'll never know Oh, hold, hold, hold Hold me close I've never been this far from home Hold, hold, hold me close He sleeps alone He needs no army where he's headed 'Cause he knows That they're just ghosts And they can't hurt him if he can't see them, oh And I may go To places I have never been to Just to find The deepest desires in my mind They're in my head And I have said That I must be like you now Who sleeps alone Who sleeps alone And one last chance To make sense Of what has long escaped us He sleeps alone I sleep alone He sleeps alone He needs no army where he's headed 'Cause he knows That they're just ghosts And they can't hurt him if he can't see them, oh And I don't know if in the morning I will be here And if so Let it be known That I was worthy, I was worthy, I was worthy, I was Oh Oh
