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 now And 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 truth That 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 Oh 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 oh, something's got to break up I've been asleep and I need to wake up now
