(Fast, upbeat, with slight happy to soothing music)

*Every morn’,

I go around,

Listening to sounds,

Every noon,

I walk to town,

Observing every noun,

*But when it turns to night,

My mind can’t decide,

My eyes don’t ever close,

No one really ever knows,

*(chorus)I can’t fall asleep—-,

I can’t fall asleep—-,

’cause honestly,

who would sleep with the world awake..

And now and then,

I feel the hums of wings,

Motions of everything,

I can’t fall asleep (asleep).

-brief pause-

*So everytime,

It’s 8pm,

I try to count the sheep,

But either way,

I get nowhere,

Does anybody care?

But when it turns to night,

My mind can’t decide,

My eyes don’t ever close,

No one really ever knows..

*I can’t fall asleep—-

I can’t fall asleep—-

And now and then,

I try to drift away,

But everytime,

I sing this sleepy rhyme,

I start awaking,

I can’t go to sleep!

*(bridge)How can I sleep..

when my mind’s really deep..

Who knows when to stop..

When you’re at the very top?

*(bridge 2)Elsewhere, nowhere, everywhere, city square,

Do you feel the city beat?

I can’t go to sleep…

with the world right under my feet!

*I won’t go to sleep—

I  can’t go to sleep—

‘cuz honestly,

Can I sleep with the world awake?

How can they?

All the children are sleeping..

But I’ll tend to be awake..

‘cuz I can’t go to sleep…(sleep, sleep, sleep -fade-)
