Have I been sleeping?<br /> Ive been so still, afraid of crumbling<br /> Have I been careless?<br /> Dismissing all the distant rumblingsTake me where I am supposed to be<br /> To comprehend the things that I cant see'Cause I need to move, I need to wake up<br /> I need to change, I need to shake up<br /> I need to speak out, somethings got to break up<br /> Ive been asleep and I need to wake up nowAnd as a child I danced like it was 1999<br /> And my dreams were wild<br /> The promise of this new world would be mineNow I am throwing off the carelessness of youth<br /> To listen to an inconvenient truthThat I need to move, I need to wake up<br /> I need to change, I need to shake up<br /> I need to speak out, somethings got to break up<br /> Ive been asleep and I need to wake up nowI am not an island<br /> I am not alone<br /> I am my intentions<br /> Trapped here in this flesh and boneAnd I need to move, I need to wake up<br /> I need to change, I need to shake up<br /> I need to speak out, somethings got to break up<br /> Ive been asleep and I need to wake up nowI want to change, I need to shake up<br /> I need to speak out, oh, somethings got to break up<br /> Ive been asleep and I need to wake up now<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> MELISSA ETHERIDGEPublished by<br /> Lyrics © BMG RIGHTS MANAGEMENT US, LLCLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>

I Need to Wake Up (From "An Inconvenient Truth") Lyrics


Have I been sleeping?
Ive been so still, afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?
Dismissing all the distant rumblingsTake me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I cant 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, somethings got to break up
Ive been asleep and I need to wake up nowAnd as a child I danced like it was 1999
And my dreams were wild
The promise of this new world would be mineNow 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, somethings got to break up
Ive 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, somethings got to break up
Ive been asleep and I need to wake up nowI want to change, I need to shake up
I need to speak out, oh, somethings got to break up
Ive been asleep and I need to wake up now
