I was asleep so long, I forgot the light of day

I wrote a thousand songs, I had one thing left to say

I took the hard way

Pushed up the road

I never did it on my own

Wake me up

And pull the love from pain

Lift me up, promise, keep me safe

Oh I will carry the dream, but you carry me

I was on fire so long, I forgot I loved to swim

I took a boat out there, but you just jumped right in

And I thought my windstorms would scare you away

But when I look up you're smiling in the rain

Wake me up

And pull the love from pain

Lift me up, and promise, keep me safe

Oh I will carry the dream, and you carry me

Oh wake me up

And pull the love from pain

Oh, lift me up, and promise, keep me safe

Oh I will carry the dream

Oh I will carry my dreams

Oh I will carry the dream, and you

You carry me
