Wide Awake - Tuck & Patti

There was a time in my life

When I thought my only choice

Was to run away

From so much hatred

Oh it seems sometimes

That the killing will never end

I was afraid

I could not see the end

In sight

And so i did

What so many others often do

I took all my feelings

And i put them all to sleep

Until i could not feel

Anymore pain

But you cannot change a thing

If you cannot feel your heart

And so I prayed for strength

To help me face my fears

I remember the day

And although it hurt me deep

I was happy for my tears

For it meant that i was wide awake

Ready to take my place

In the war that's going

For hearts and mind

For it meant that i was wide awake

And I won't hesitate to stand and tell the truth

To save a life

So many suffer and cry

While too many of us turn our heads

And hide

Oh for lack of our love

Today 10 000 children closed their eyes

And died

Oooh its hard to take

We cannot face this madness

And so we go back to the place

Where we feel safe

Oh we take all of our feelings

And put them all to sleep

Until we cannot feel

Anymore pain

Don't be be afraid

Because wide awake

There will be many others

Who join you on your way

Oh and there is so much beauty

You just have to open up your eyes

Wide awake sometimes your heart will break

When you hear another anguished cry

Oh but in the middle of the sorrow

You have to realise

If you cannot look

Then you cannot change

Open up your eyes

Don't be afraid

I'm right beside you

I'm here beside you

I'll never leave you lonely

I keep my head up

And my heart wide open

I am held to tell you

Don't go to sleep

Don't slumber

Wake up

We're depending on you

For it meant that i was wide awake

Ready to take my place

For it meant that i was wide awake

Ready to take my place

For it meant that i was wide awake

Ready to take my place

I'm thankful

And I'm so grateful

That I'm wide awake
