Angels When They Sleep

stay up all night
sleep through daylight
the world seems sane at night
at least sometimes
no bad news
just peaceful views
their night's world I choose
when they sing their blues

if they knew how peaceful they can be
cause they're all angels when they sleep

so I sing you a lullaby
I set it free
sing you a lullaby
endlessly
sing you a lullaby
and the world tells me
to sing you a lullaby
to keep the peace

night turns to day
angels away
show their other face
devils take their place
but only
they feel lonely
like birds looking for prey
‘til they pass away

can’t believe how peaceful they can be
but they're all angels when they sleep

another silent night and
it’s soundtrack is this song
if you feel the same come
join in and sing along
beware don't sing too loud
this really is in need
as long as they're asleep
the whole world will stay at peace
