INSOMNIA



INSOMNIA

In my loneliness
Here I am in the dark
My soul is restless
A strange feeling...
What is it?,
 something isn't right!
The night has chased my dream away
A strange sense, very powerful
disturbing my soul
and my peace moves away
Far inside my heart

What's going on with me?
Oh, Lord!
Come closer by my side
and calm these nerves  
of this ... this fear
That's scared my dream
 
Please Lord, I ask you for my family
Who are far from me
Bless them and take care
of them for me
Here I am in the Dark
In my loneliness
INSOMNIA... INSOMNIA
