Sleep No More

Carrie Pierron 1964 (New York)

The quiet nights keep me awake
Knowing that there is no escape
The world is just so full of hate
Is this it? Is it to late?
When I walk down the street and say hi
Wondering what will happen when I walk by
I am filled with so much sorrow
Sitting and thinking if there is a tomorrow
I tuck my kids in bed real tight
And I pray to God they will be alright
All I ever want to see
Is Peace,Love, and Harmony!!!
