Tina Dickow No Time to Sleep song lyrics

Who's gonna sing a song of change

If no one can imagine life outside the beaten track?

And who's gonna stop the running train

If no one cares to dwell and no one wants to look back?

Somewhere along the line you gave up asking

When it got a little too complex

But if you don't question what has been

Does it mean that you don't care what's coming next?

You've got no one to follow

And no one will follow you

Ain't that a relief

That everything and everyone must grow in opposition

To resistance and contradiction,

This ain't no time to go to sleep

This ain't no time to go to sleep

So who's gonna sing a song of faith

If no one prays for anything that can't be bought or sold?

And who's gonna tell the story straight

Does anyone believe there's still a story to be told?

Somewhere along the line you just stopped walking

When the undercurrent got too strong

Someday a lonely busker will come knocking

With a soft and long forgotten song

That you've got no one to follow

And no one will follow you

Ain't that a relief

That everything and everyone must grow in opposition

To resistance and contradiction,

This ain't no time to go to sleep

Oh, this ain't no time to go to sleep
