I Got Woken Up

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I don't need anybody, I don't carry a gun

I don't need to feel sorry, for the things I have done

Everything's about to start, I can feel it in my bones and my heart

And I'm not even in the race

I woke up, yes I did, I woke up I've been asleep to long

I woke up, I got woken up, I woke up

I don't care for religion, yeah that is my sin

If I come knockin', I know he'll let me in

Now I don't have my cap in my hand, gonna stop here and see where I stand

Got a smile back upon my face

I woke up, I got woken up, I woke up, I'm gonna strap myself in

I woke up, yes I did, I woke up

I woke up, I got woken up, I woke up, yeah

Now I like this body, and I'm safe in my skin,

And I do love this feeling, and the shape that I'm in

Every sun brings a brand new day, well so what, I don't care to hear you say

Well I no longer lead the chase

I woke up, I got woken up, I woke up, I got woken up yeah

I woke up, it's time to rise and shine, I woke up, this day is mine

I woke up, woken up, I woke up, woken up, it's time to rise up

I woke up, woken up, I woke up, woken up, I woke up, woken up, woken up
