I Need To Wake Up

I Need To Wake Up

Have I been sleeping

I’ve been so still

Afraid of crumbling

Have I been careless?

Dismissing all the distant rumblings

Take me where I am supposed to be

To comprehend the things that I can’t see

Cause I need to move

I need to wake up

I need to change

I need to shake up

I need to speak out

Something’s got to break up

I’ve been asleep

And I need to wake up

Now

And as a child

I danced like it was 1999

My dreams were wild

But the promise of this new world

Would be mine

Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth

To listen to an inconvenient truth

Well I need to move

I need to wake up

I need to change

I need to shake up

I need to speak out

Something’s got to break up

I’ve been asleep

And I need to wake up

Now

I am not an island

I am not alone

I am my intentions

Trapped here in this flesh and bone

And I need to move

I need to wake up

I need to change

I need to shake up

I need to speak out

Something’s got to break up

I’ve been asleep

And I need to wake up

Now

I want to change

I need to shake up

I need to speak out

Something’s got to break up

I’ve been asleep

And I need to wake up

Now
