Sleep On It

[KID] (whispered) Sleep on it... sleep on it... Tried it a hundred times and it still came out wrong (aww). Pillow goes soft — and your brain stays on all night long.

Sleep on it, sleep on it, Sleep on it, sleep on it.

[KID] Eyes go heavy, room goes dark, but the lights inside stay ON. A tiny sleepy worker tucks your whole day in a drawer. Tangled bits get sorted, every word and every sum — You learn it, then you snooze it, and you wake up... (here it come)

Sleep on it, sleep on it, yawn Your brain does the homework while you're gone. Sleep on it, sleep on it (shh) The hard thing in the dark feels easy in the dawn.

[KID] (whispered) She shelves it... she files it... Behind your closed-up eyelids, little hands are stacking shelves — A book of every wonder, every wobble, every fall. You couldn't ride the bike last night... (wait for it) Morning hits — boom — and you're rolling down the hall.

Sleep on it, sleep on it, yawn Your brain does the homework while you're gone. Sleep on it, sleep on it (shh) The hard thing in the dark feels easy in the dawn.

[KID] (whispered) So when it just won't stick, kid, don't you weep — Your smartest little working hours are the hours you're fast asleep. Sleep on it... (goodnight)... sleep on it.
