Wake Up And Dream
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 need to wake up soon
So very soon
Into the light zone
Into the light
I`m falling forwards
And into sight
And running backwards
And falling down
They cheer they cheer
Under a piercing and
Blinding light
The crowd all gather
Singing
Right on right on
But there`s no dark corner
Only
Centre stage
The crowd gets restless
I begin to say
I don`t know if you know
I care I`m here
I`m only barely holding on
To something that is real
I`ll stand up to the noise and light
Until everything requires
I might be heard
Or else wake up
And dream
Dream
Dream
He`s so good looking
The traffic stops
He`s a politician
A heavenly cop
Words of healing
Fall from his lips
Lifting up the weak
Is in his gift
People say yeah
To the hall of office
And the foreign stage
Maybe at last
The world`s a
Better place
He`s brought down swiftly
By the
Hand of fate
The people weep
And the thought remains
When you fight for every breath
Do you stop to think about your friends or do you
Realise
That in that moment separating life and death
You want to take what you can get
And maybe
Only wake up
But not
Dream
