What do you think this poem is about?

Sleep on!

I miss out on a third of the day
Sleep on
I lie down to sleep and lose control
Sleep on
I don’t want to sleep but remain in charge
Sleep on
Anything could happen to anyone
Sleep on

Lighten our darkness
Sleep on
O Lord we pray
Sleep on
Preserve us
Sleep on
From all dangers
Sleep on

Only God keeps watch while we
Sleep on
