Verse 1:
Seeing possibility
Keeping dreams before
Looking for tranquility
Truth that holds me pure
Verse 2:
Close my thoughts to sin again
Ignore all my past
Forget what I did again
Hoping it won't last
Chorus:
Close my eyes and see You there
Promises You keep
Softly breath without a care
(cause) In my world I'm free, I sleep
Verse 3:
Dream of thoughtless memories
And those yet to come
Seems to bring enduring peace
(For) This dream's just begun
(Chorus (Repeat "When I sleep" 2x))
Verse 4:
Once again reality
Takes me from my land
This is how it has to be
(But) I'll return again!
(Chorus (Repeat "When I sleep" 2x, then "When I pray"))
