I was so afraid nightmares / Nothing felt more real to me / In my bed my eyes stayed open / I never wanted to fall asleep / But my mom and dad were right there / I trusted them so much / Even if some nights were nightmares / I had someone who loved me much / And so I’d pray / The same prayer every night / And so I’d say with my eyes closed tight, / “I love you, Jesus. / Thank you for everything / Please forgive me for all my sins and wrong-doing / I wish for no more bad dreams / Thank you…amen” / Somewhere someday I stopped praying to Jesus / And I started enjoying all my dreams / I can’t say I really believe in heaven / And I don’t know why anyone should care / But every night sometime after 11 / I embrace my nightmares
