Awaken


​Sleep my child 

and awaken a king...

Sleep my child

awaken the spirt of your ancestors...

Sleep my child

so that you may wake up and take ownership of a land in which was lost...

Sleep so that you may awake,

Sleep so you can be well rested for the task ahead of you does not tire you,

Sleep so that you are awake to rule longer than whom you've sucessed,

Sleep so that you may manifest the presence of God,

Sleep...Sleep...Sleep my  Child
