Restless sleep

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But the sheep don’t appear
The echoing of your name
Is the only thing I hear
In my mind, as if my brain
Vanishes, leaving an open space
Throughout the village of mountains
I hear the echo and in the snow I see your face

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
Still the sheep aren’t in sight
The fire in my mind that burns for you
During sleep, once again ignites
Toss and turn in restless sleep
To get close to you, I sometimes walk
In reality you’re not around
So why in my dreams, do you stalk?

When you can’t sleep, count sheep
But when I do, the sheep quickly turn
Into sweet memories of you
In restless sleep you need me
When I awaken, it’s not true

Believe in Yourself

You can’t believe in a dream If you don’t believe in yourself You can’t conquer the fears ... If you can’t conquer them within yourself You’ve got to believe You’ve got to believe In the dream In the dream The dream within yourself When you feel like you’re alone, you never are And the dreams you want in your reach, aren’t too far For the answer to your prayers shouldn’t seem impossible There’s one thing you should believe One thing you should know That the courage starts from within your heart And the motivation you have will make you start Think about what you really want the most There’s one thing you should believe One thing you should know Once you take the steps to make it you’re on your way Don’t let others hold you down just keep the faith For the answer to your prayers shouldn’t seem impossible There’s one thing you should believe One thing you should know You have what it takes be on your own side Never give up or be afraid to voice your pride ...
