Don't Fall Asleep

This was inspired by jamming at the Summer Acoustic Music Week (SAMW) in the chapel after midnight.

Lyrics

DON’T FALL ASLEEP - FAWM25

Don’t fall asleep
‘Cause we’re still playing
There’s time for dreaming
Much later on
Don’t fall asleep
Just keep on picking
You’ll get your rest
When I am gone

Don’t fall asleep
Keep your eyes open
The time is short
No time to yawn
Don’t fall asleep
You keep me going
My final jam
We’ll play ‘til dawn

B-part:
It’s coming up; my time to show off
I’ll take the lead; I’m gonna shine
This is it; When you say, “take it!”
I’ll give my all; For one last time

Don’t fall asleep
Just keep on playing
A final tune
As I move on
Don’t fall asleep
It was an honor
You helped me run
My marathon
