Don't wake me up

Don't wake me up.
Let me sleep a li'l more -
Under the dark canopy of nightsky
I feel comfortable
like a baby in a mother's womb.
Don't wake me up.

I had gazed at the stars
like an ancient mariner who's
hoping dawn will bring
the sight of his beloved.
I had wished upon a shooting star -
no child be homeless without love
no mother with wrenching emptiness.
And then I had fallen asleep.

I dream a better day will come
I dream a better world awaits -
safe, green and without prejudice.
filled with promise and potential.

Don't wake me up.
Let me sleep a li'l more -
Let me enjoy even if it's a dream.
