Layin’ awake worrying about the state of the world,
the whole big thing and my own little corner.
Are my loved ones safe, are they happy are they well?
What should we do next, and how to tell?

Can I snap my fingers, fix the future fix the past?
Is there some way I can make the best parts last?
I know the present is a gift and live in the now,
but what could be lost, still freaks me out.

It’s five a.m. ain’t slept much yet
got a million things running through my head.
And I don’t know what I can do
so I thought I’d write this song for you.

My life is blessed can’t complain
I’ve got so much many folks just dream.
I’ve got food and health and family,
I’ve known freedom, peace and safety.

But I still,
lay awake worrying at five a.m.
in my nice warm house full of family and friends.
And I don’t really know what I can do
so I thought I’d write this song,
for you.
