She's been asleep for some time now
In a world of glass and paper doubt
The doc explains in the best way he knows how
That the cancer found it's way in through out mouths

Wake form your sleep
Oh, precious one
Wake up now

I can hear her breathe [bad word] back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done
She's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper

If I make it to morning and somehow believe
It was fear that turned our dreams to doubt
Her cancer I ate for her father who waits
Cause she wants to sing again

Wake form your sleep
Oh, precious one
Wake up now

I can hear her breathe [bad word] back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done
She's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper

What kind of son would I be if I let her sleep
What kind of brother would I be if I let her sleep
She's gonna speak

I can hear her breathe [bad word] back to me
And when she speaks
Can we live with what we've done
She's moving and I am terrified
That we can't hear the whisper
