wake me up

feeling my way through the darkness
guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
but I know where to start

they tell me I'm too young to understand
they say I'm caught up in a dream
life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
well that's fine by me

so wake me up when it's all over
when I'm wiser and I'm older
all this time I was finding myself
and I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
but I only have two hands
hope I get the chance to travel the world
but I don't have any plans


wish that I could stay forever this young
not afraid to close my eyes
life's a game made for everyone
and love is the prize

so wake me up when it's all over
when I'm wiser and I'm older
all this time I was finding myself
and I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
