Sleepwalking

In a world where we can feel worn down, Yet not be defeated. We keep moving in so many directions, To keep from being cheated. Just wanting to gaze upon the setting sun. To slow it down and quit the run. Lost in the traffic, My heart still beating, Just another face in the crowd. Distorted yet not beaten. Just wanting to gaze upon the setting sun. To slow it down and quit the run. Have we been caught sleepwalking? Through our life. We have to keep trying, To make things right. Have we been caught sleepwalking? We have to open up our eyes, Before life passes by and leaves us all behind Have our eyes grown misted, From the truth. Or are we swimming in confusion, Creating our own mental abuse. Just wanting to gaze upon the setting sun. To slow it down and quit the run. It’s time to fight through all the darkness, Towards the light. Time to stop being so idle, It’s o.k. to join and fight for what is right. So tired of sleepwalking day and night. Just wanting to gaze upon the setting sun, To slow it down and quit the run. Have we been caught sleepwalking? Through our life. We have to keep trying, To make things right. Have we been caught sleepwalking? We have to open up our eyes, Before life passes by and leaves us all behind

A nicely turned lyric...and an appropriate homily for us all to heed.
