I Need To Wake Up

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
'Cause/That/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.

2. And as a child I danced like it was 1999
And my dreams were wild
The promise of this new world would be mine.

Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth.

[Bridge:]
I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone.

[Coda:]
I want to change, I need to shake up
I need to speak out, oh, something's got to break up
I've been asleep and I need to wake up now.
