Sleeping the sleep of the blessed The day's hard lobour and struggles has ended There's no cause to worry the conscience is free Still the subconscious is active and alert Tomorrow it happens start all over again Suddenly awakening in a panic Peering outside everywhere is clear and bright Promising oneself once again to buy an alarm clock Even if it cost a fortune and it's the last thing you do rush rush rush For you dare not miss the bus and it comes at 5:00 am Just now there's so much to get done The husband, the children, the animals "Oh LORD please help" Finally you are at the bus stop and can catch your breath But wait something is not just right Something is missing The roosters are crowing as usual This indicates daylight is near The usual early morning scenes and activities They are not there Look up to the sky the moon is ever so bright A familiar watchman passes and ask "why are you so early" It's only 3:00am Oops!!! fooled once again by the moon's light
