Wake Up To The Real World

(album: Louder Than Ever - 2014)

You take a trip down memory lane
Back in the childhood days
When everyday was an innocent game
And life a fairy tale

You're a twenty first century girl
And hope is all you've got
You place your bets on happy endings
You know you're dreaming
Just pretending you're not

You hideaway in colorful dreams
From the dark of night
Sick of man, sick of extremes
And the world outside

You face the day with false illusions
Made up dreams and blind confusion

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world

So what's it like in in the world where you are
In your secret place
Do you feel love healing your scars
Do you feel embraced

'Cause there your mind is free to wander
Where no one's gonna steal your thunder

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world
Face the music, don't you realize
You're living in the real world
Sleeping beauty, out of your disguise
Oh yeah

Ooh ooh ooh ooh, oh yeah
You're living in a strange reality
In another world
You only see what you wish to see, oh

Step into it, open up your eyes
Wake up to the real world
Sleeping beauty, you still fantasize
Wake up to the real world
Face the music, don't you realize
You're living in the real world
Sleeping beauty, out of your disguise

Wake up to the real world
Wake up to the real world
Wake up to the real world
