Wake Up

When you wake up late in the morning
And there’s glitter dust in your pillow
When the shouts and thundering ovations
Make your gorgeous lullaby
And you want something to believe in
And you love the glitz and the glory
When the praise and blind adoration
Fill the emptiness in your heart
And you never, ever feel lonely
And it feels like even nothing to feel
For just one moment you feel safe in the clear
Then somebody comes around the corner
Someone lost somebody who needs you
All that was is simple existence
Lets the sunlight into your soul
Now the glamour seems like a delusion
You can see through the cracks in the seams
You’ve lost that moment, onto new bigger dreams
I can’t keep pretending that this life is what it seems
It’s no Garden of Eden, it’s just a scheme
Somehow we’ve forgotten that it’s all just make believe
No one wants to question, they’re too naive
Wake up, something’s wrong
You’re deluding yourselves
Just to say you belong
And look at your captivity
Your prophet, he’s not what he seems
He’s cunning and wicked and mean
But I know love makes the world go round
Or so I’ve been told and I think I believe it
And when we decide to enlighten the wise
The world will be happy again
