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

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
Oh, something's got to break up
I've been asleep
And i need to wake up
Now
