When You Fall Asleep
when you fall asleep
let one eye stay awake
that when danger approaches
it can be a witness
when you fall asleep
let one arm stay active
that when a robber comes
it can defend the body
when you fall asleep
let one ear stay alert
that when someone whispers
it can hear the secrets
even when you die, do not die
do not allow death to kill you
