Forever asleep

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up
I wish I could accept it
But I'm too young for you to give up

There's so much love and beauty yet to come
You are aware
But what about this fight for life
You can no longer bear?

Success, mistakes
Great jobs, heartaches
When I go down or I rise up
I will never get to know
If you will like me when I'm all grown up

There's so much life and learning yet to come
I am aware
I have to find the strength in me
Cause you can not be there

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up
I hope I can proceed to be
All you longed for me when I'm grown up

And when your soul is set free
And one day you look at me
I hope you like what you see

And when I turn out deadbeat
When I have to face defeat
Who will love me regardlessly?

Asleep, asleep
You fall asleep
You're never waking up
