4:37am

It's 4:37 in the morning
And I'm still not in bed
I'm not tired, and I can't sleep
There's too much going on in my head
I'm trying to figure out
How to make it through another day
I'm just trying to figure out
What I have to do to find my way

It's 8:37 in the morning
And I feel my eyes close
I fade out as sleep overtakes me
But still I do not know
I do not know the answer
To what weighs heavily on my mind
I've been searching for the answer
For so many days, but it's too hard to find

Why can't I find the answer
That will make all my dreams come true?
I've been trying for so long now
I've done everything that I can do
Now my fate's in the hands of strangers
It's out of my control
Will I see my dreams realized?
Will I ever reach that goal?

It's 1:37 in the afternoon
As I rouse from sleep
I rise from bed and walk across the room
And I hear the floorboards creak
Even the floor is crying for me
In it's own way
I've never seen the smile of destiny
Or known the gentle hand of fate

It's 3:37 in the afternoon
And I hear the phone ring
I pick up and it's just another wrong number
What did I think it would bring?
It's never brought the voice of anybody
Who could ever care for me
It's just another symbol of my solitude
Except for my family

I love my family
But is it too much to ask for more?
I want to fall in love
With somebody who will love me to the core
I want to make a positive difference
In somebody's life
I want to leave this world a little bit better
The day I say goodbye
