I need to wake up

stanza 1

Have I been sleeping?

I´ve been so 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.

stanza 2

And as a child I danced like it was in 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.

stanza 3

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.
