And I, I was up past the dawn

Sparks of twilight gone

I've been held by the wounds that speak

That speak with bitter tongue

Things eclipsing all the time

For better and worse alike

I always learn the hard way that

An instinct's usually true, an instinct's usually true

And I'm gonna tell this world

The only difference now is I am vigilant

And I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And I, I was walking on a fire

Coals beneath my feet

The smoke has risen up

And nearly suffocated me

Things eclipsing all the time

For better and worse alike

I always learn the hard way that

An instinct's usually true, an instinct's usually true

And I'm gonna tell this world

The only difference now is that I'm vigilant

And I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And oh, and everywhere I go

Taking with that same new feeling with me now

It gets me through my ups and downs

And everywhere I go

Taking with that same new feeling with me now

It gets me through my ups and downs

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake
