What’s that got you shakin’
And your belly achin’
Seems you’re on the verge
Of mentally breakin’
If you think about
And wanna talk about it
I’m right next to you
Don’t scream and shout it
Awake from your slumber
Wake up!
Start from the beginning
Before losing and winning
You will find yourself
Dancing and singing
Chasing waterfalls
Not settling for streams
Not at all haunted
By what’s in your dreams
You know it’s not my style
I like to keep it close to the vest
But just this once I feel
I gotta get it off of my chest
And confess
I see you spinning, you’re stuck in your dreams
They don’t make sense they’re not what they seem
It’s time to wake up!
You’re movin’ in slow motion
There’s no magic potion
Snap out of it
Clear those foggy notions
Look into the mirror
See things a little clearer
You will find the truth
Nothing to fear
La la la la la la…
I’ve said before
You know I like to keep it close to the vest
But once again I feel
I gotta get it off of my chest
Here’s the rest
The more you think the less that you see
And you fall back to what’s in your dreams
And when those nightmares burst at the seams
Then they will become your reality Wake up!
Awake from your
Your slumber
It’s not your time
Your number is not up
