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
