"While the World Sleeps" is a record written by Zayani, inspired by her struggle with an ill family member, namely her late aunt, who unfortunately passed before her time due to complications with cancer. Invoking the emotions she was feeling at the time, Zayani composed what sounds like a one-sided conversation with her aunt comforting and consoling her in her time of need.

Don't close your eyes and let
the whole world pass you by
the answers come when
your eyes are open wide
Now its time to realize
to your surprise
you won't get nowhere you need to be
if you don't believe and see.
And while the world sleeps
look into your dreams
And while the world sleeps
the heart is where it keeps
And while the world sleeps
we'll escape to a distant land
And while the world sleeps
I'll hold your hand
Ignore the chaos surrounding you
'cause you know what you've got to do
your life's a battle
you just can't stop and lose.
And when its quiet
we'll go up to your room (oh)
rest now and soon
you'll find the truth
And while the world sleeps
look into your dreams
And while the world sleeps
the heart is where it keeps
And while the world sleeps
we'll escape to a distant land
And while the world sleeps
I'll hold your hand
[Bridge]
And while the world sleeps
look into your dreams
And while the world sleeps
the heart is where it keeps
And while the world sleeps
we'll escape to a distant land
And while the world sleeps
I'll hold your hand
