Heavy is the mind that's filled with worry
Paralyzed by sad news on TV
All I get from sleep are these strange and apocalyptic dreams
How do I make them leave
I muster all my strength and look out the window
No children on the sidewalks and no cars on the streets
Isn't it ironic this used to be a holiday scene
But now we're under siege
Is it okay if I close my eyes
Is is okay if take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Heavy is the heart that's filled with memories
The happy tragic and mundane in betweens
Joni was right when she sang
You don't know what you got still it's gone
Oh it's all gone
So is it okay if I close my eyes
Is it okay if I take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
We won't be the same
I'm forever changed
I cannot unsee
What's in front of me
We won't be the same
I'm forever changed
I cannot unsee
What's in front of me
Oh it's all in front of me
Is it okay if I close my eyes
Is it okay if I take my time
Is it okay if I close my eyes
Is it okay if I take my time
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Just for a little while
Heavy is the soul that's gone to war
With questions of who's really in control
So I plead I plead myself to fight to see that this
Is where I'm supposed to be right now
