I need to wake up

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
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
