There's a truth not many know
About the world while you're asleep
That the wind steal through your window
To steal the secrets that you keep
And if you don't believe me
Then you're welcome to your doubt
But have you never stopped to wonder
What it's whispering about?
What else in the world
Could make the treetops bend and sway
But the weight of all the words
That no one ever dared to say?
And since it's while you're sleeping
Secrets are easier to take
It's no surprise those with the deepest
Are the ones kept wide awake
