Are You Sleeping ( child song )

Yeah, yeah Don't wake me up if I'm sleeping this life away Tell me that I'll never be good enough Sometimes it hurts to think it could really be that way It won't be that way I'm tired and I'm lost, I don't wanna be found I put my heart and my soul and strength in this now So forgive me 'cause I won't forget that Yeah, this world has changed me, so you know when you ask me Who are you now? Did you say what you want? Don't go back to the start I'm asking, who are you now? Did they break you apart? Won't you fight back for what you want? Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly We're gonna work it out Yeah, yeah Don't, don't, don't wake me up 'Cause I hate who I am today So come on, come on and just take, take, take what you want Is it that what we're living for? We're always wanting more You made me hate my own reflection, question every choice I make So I could try to be perfect, but I will try to be fake So forgive me 'cause I really could care less that this world has changed me So you know when you ask me Who are you now? Did you say what you want? Don't go back to the start I'm asking, who are you now? Did they break you apart? Won't you fight back for what you want? Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly And sometimes you really live, you've gotta try We can change it all together, in the end you're gonna find That what we felt in our hearts was real the whole time When you open up your eyes, I hope that you find Who you are, who you are Who are you now? Who are you now? Who are you now? Did you say what you want? Don't go back to the start I'm asking, who are you now? Did they break you apart? Won't you fight back for what you want? Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly Sometimes you gotta fall before you fly We're gonna work it out

I've been hearing voices Telling me that I could Never be what I wanna be. They're binding me with lies, Haunting me at night, And saying there's nothing to believe. Somewhere in the quietness, When I'm overcome with loneliness, I hear You call my name. And like a father You are near And as I listen I can hear You say Chorus You are a child of Mine Born of My own design And you bear the heart of life. No matter where you go, Oh, you will always know You have been made free in Christ. You are a child of Mine And so I listen as You tell me who I am And who it is I'm gonna be. And I hang on every word, Knowing I have heard I am Yours and I am free But when I am alone at night That is when I hear the lie You'll never be enough And though I'm giving into fear If I listen I can hear You say Chorus I am calling' I am calling' I am calling' Chorus

I remember the day you appeared on this earth With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt From my camera angle it looked like it hurt But your mama had a big old smile We drove you home, saw your yellowing skin Packed a few things and drove you back again Stayed up all night worrying, wondering What was gonna make it better Broken bones heal if you set them right Get your fine tooth comb from the barbicide Our love's a protective poison But you are your mother's child And she'll keep you for a while Oh one day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own Halloween costume, looking real cute With your pillowcase full, in your astronaut suit Your cousin, the cowboy, he's eyeing your loot Better watch your Snickers bar Out on the diamond, and you're up to bat Chewing your big league, adjusting your hat Taking a swing and hearing it crack Look at that apple fly Tears will dry if you give them time Life's a roller coaster, keep your arms inside Fear that's a big emotion But you are your mother's child And she'll have you for a while But some day you'll be grown, then you'll be on your own Posing for pictures, cap and a gown Summer is coming, you're driving around town Everyone's asking what you're gonna do now I know you're gonna make a splash And find you a sweetheart to treat you so kind Take her to dinner and kiss her goodnight What I couldn't teach you, soon you'll realize She's the only thing that matters Although he's a bastard, make your papa proud Your a fine young man and I got no doubt That you're gonna do this better 'Cause you are your mother's child She had you for a while But now that you are grown, and you're making it on your own Well now that you're grown, may you never be on your own
