Inke rd is three family guys based out of Ohio who all have careers outside of the band. We started out of our church and play in churches but we don't like to be called a 'church' band. Our songwriting and skill far exceed the everyday run of the mill church band - at least that is what my mom told us. We are highly acoustic driven and play exclusivly original songs from the band. Songs like Jesus loves me and the Star Spangled Banner. A little inside I know... My mom always told me I had a problem with sincerity. But on a serious note we love Jesus and the families he has so richly blessed us with. The band is Matt Corona (bass), Chris Lewis (keys), and Tim Holman (Guitar and songwriting). We don't travel much because of our responsibilities at home. We wouldn't trade being Fathers for fame anyday. This is more than a hobbie though. We take our playing very seriously and hopefully people see that in our music.

Story behind the song

It is personal.  I have a sleep disorder which I am thankful for because that's when most of my songs get writtan.  I was awake in bed at my mom and dad's house after I had talked on the phone with a relative who has seen better days.  I couldn't go to sleep because I wasn't ok with the fact that I could not make things better for him.  God brought me rest when he reminded me of this verse... peace be still.  Jesus calmed the waters of an angry sea.  He will do the same in the lives of those who love him and make his kingdom thier primary concern.  We just have to trust his impecable timing.

Lyrics

Sleep on

Another never ending night of nonsense - I've said my prayers and kissed the kids goodnight.  A thousand picket signs inside my mind are keeping me from going to sleep tonight.
I hope my prayers will make it past the ceiling.  'Cause I cant' bear the thought of one more day.  And even though it doesn't get much darker I can't wait to hear my Savior say...

Peace be still.  You know who I am and that I will.  It will not be long until your faith will end in sight and everything is gonna be alright
Sleep my child.  This one thing is only for a while. The pain that you are going through is gonna seem so small and you are gonna make it after all - sleep on.

Another night has gone into the evening and I have never felt so far away.  I know that there’s joy in the morning.  With all these thoughts I don't know what to pray. 
Another tear grows cold upon my pillow, but I can feel your mercy coming in.  And even though it can't get any darker I can almost hear my Savior say...

Peace be still.  You know who I am and that I will.  It will not be long until your faith will end in sight and everything is gonna be alright
Sleep my child.  This one thing is only for a while. The pain that you are going through is gonna seem so small and you are gonna make it after all - sleep on.  Sleep on.  Please child sleep on.
