3 a.m. night shift at work
3 A.M.

It's 3 a.m. and I am awake
It has been 18 long hours
working to stay sane
It's 3 a.m. and I am awake

You don't know I am here
You probably don't care
But when you need me I will be there.
It's 3 a.m. and I am awake

The day has been filled with pain and humor
boredom and excitement
life and death
It's 3 a.m. and I am awake

I don't know what I am doing
It has been such a long day
I want to go to sleep, but my dreams keep me awake
It's 3 a.m. and I am awake

I hope you sleep well
Knowing I am here
I hope you never see what I do
It's 3 a.m. and you would be awake
