Jeremy Flick - Goodnight

Mama's coming to tuck me in
She'd give a hug and a kiss and she'd say goodnight
Younger me was so innocent
I asked, "Mama, am I gonna die?"

Her eyes got super wide and
She looked at me surprised like a parent would
Her son is scared of dying
And I was only 9 but I prayed to God

No fair I can't bear to turn out the light
Please Lord don't take me away
Mom's here but I'm scared to close my eyes
Don't make me say goodnight

Goodnight
Back and forth I know you're rocking me
Count my blessings every night since I was 13
Still I was wondering at 23

If I don't wake up in my bed, where will I be
Nobody knew I was lonely
Except for you cuz you taught me you were the missing piece
God I need you to show me

Cuz I don't know if I'm making it if I don't believe
I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away
It's hard but so far I'm still alive

Don't make me say goodnight
Goodnight
I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away

It's hard but so far I'm still alive
Don't make me say goodnight
Am I living for me
Am I living for people

What will all of it lead to
Am I really alive
God I'm praying for peace
God I'm praying for people

What will all of it lead to
Mama when will I die
Wake me from my nightmare
Save me from this dream

Take my life oh Lord
I pray my soul to keep
Free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away

It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight
I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away

It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight
I'm free falling I'm calling out to ya
Please Lord just take this away (Take it)

It's hard but so far I'm still alive
It's time to say goodnight
