[Verse 1]
Another
day gone
One less
to get through
Another
chance to obsess
Another
chance to second guess
Another
chance to question your every thought
To blame
yourself for whatever’s wrong
[Chorus]
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Don’t
hold on so tight
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Leave the
past to die
[Verse 2]
Another
day gone
Another
night beckons
Another
chance to rest
Another
chance to disconnect
Another
chance to learn how to let things go
To accept
what you cannot control
[Chorus]
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Don’t
hold on so tight
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Leave the
past to die
[Post
Chorus]
Tomorrow
may well be
A replay
of today
But for
now, find peace
Sleep
[Bridge]
Sometimes
truth can be found in reflection
Life is
wasted without introspection
Tell me,
what is the point of obsession
Over
things you can never, never, never change?
I pray
you find peace
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
[Chorus]
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Don’t
hold on so tight
I pray
you find peace
Sleep
Leave the
past to die
[Post
Chorus]
Tomorrow
may well be
A replay
of today
But for
now, find peace
But for
now, find peace
But for
now, find peace
Sleep

According
to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary peace
is a state of tranquillity or
quiet. Finding peace was never easy. I won't talk about
wars that happened or are happening in our world, or even this COVID-19 pandemic. This goes beyond what we can put our flesh and blood hands
on. I'm talking about our inner state. Our inner peace.
What does
disturb your peace? Is it your job? Your neighbour? Your family? Each one of us
have our own problems to face it, and when we worry more than necessary about
it, we lose our peace. A single event can disturb our inner state and even
steal our sleep.
We deal
with people putting pressure on us, telling it's gibberish or nonsense. Only we
know what we are really facing. Sometimes we can overcome, sometimes we cannot.
We sometimes can't even see the end of the day. We feel like drowning, but that
is not the end. As I usually comment on songs here on the blog,
there are people who support us, who are by our side helping in the most
difficult moments. Don't give up on them. They are the ones praying for you to
find peace. They are the ones walking side to side, even in silence, sometimes.
Find some
time to rest, to disconnect. Learn to let go. Tomorrow is a different day,
maybe a replay of today, but for now, find peace. Sleep.
'Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.' Philippians 4:6-7
