Wake Up

Looking for a sign of life
A pulse, a spark, a flame.
I’m tired of seeing people flat-line
Then deflect the blame
You gotta own it, grieve it, get up and go
Everybody clear! Paddles on your chest
Find your passion, grit your teeth
You’re better than second best
I know that feeling, believe me
Can we wake up, wake up, let’s go
You look alive, but you’re not inside
I know that pressure, it constricts me
It’s time to make that white lie come to light
Letting the days go by,
Without a care at all
You may think that you’re too far gone
A name they can’t recall
Open up to me
Tell me what your dreamin'
You can’t be too far broken
The sky’s where you belong
You better wake up, better wake up
You better wake up, it’s time to wake up
If you trip and fall
You’d better pick yourself up
You’re not a bottom feeder
Then don’t be like one
You better wake up, better wake up
You better wake up, it’s time to wake up
Turn it around, and show me how
You plan on changing your life around
Time after time, try to prove me wrong
I’ll show up, uninvited, I know that you will fight it
Turn it around, and show me how
You plan on changing your life around
Time after time, try to prove me wrong
