Beautiful Night

A beautiful night of dreamless sleep,

Now I know the value of rest,

To be awake in a sleepy town,

Is a disease I don't want again,

To be whole and happy here,

I need to shake off this sadness quick,

And look forward to living my life,

And see me as deserving of love,

Of hope and life and grace,

Because I only have this one life,

And I'd be damned if I waste it away.
