I Need To Wake Up Lyrics

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
NowAnd as a child
I danced like it was 1999
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 truthThat 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
NowI am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and boneAnd 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
NowI 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
