Going To Bed

Children battle bedtime
'Cause the day is so much fun
That it's hard to call it quits
When the playing's not quite done.

It's the opposite with grown-ups
For the prospect of some sleep
Means our minds will catch a breather
From the burdens that we keep.

So we listen as the grandkids
Fight requests to go to bed
When there isn't any place that we
Would rather be instead.
