Wake Up

(album: Leap Taken - 2020)

See my name on a taxi ledger
See my fame in the gutter stream
See my daughter, the eyes of mercy
Crying out 'cause she needed me

Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up
Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up

Working nights, working days and weekends
Never know where the money goes
Look around at the beasts of burden
May be lost but I'm not alone

Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up, you're killing me
Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up

Sleeping in my head, sleeping like I'm already dead
Scared that I'll never wake up
Dreaming there was more, dreaming life was worth living for
Time that I'll never make up
Scared that I'm losing touch
Here where I have enough
Wake up

Stepping off at the last gas station
Need a drink and a place to think
Lost my heart, lost my motivation
Find a haze over everything

Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up, they're killing you
Wake up, you fell asleep
Wake up

Sleeping in my head, sleeping like I'm already dead
Scared that I'll never wake up
Dreaming there was more, dreaming life was worth living for
Time that I'll never make up
Scared that I'm losing touch
Here where I have enough
Wake up

Down from above and she came to me
Bird on a wire and she sang to me
Life is a chance and it can't be missed
Loving your heart and it's all you need
Shoes on your feet and a breath to breathe
Life is a chance and it can't be missed

Down from above and she came to me
A bird on a wire and she sang to me
Life is a chance and it can't be missed
Loving your heart and it's all you need
Shoes on your feet and a breath to breathe
Life is a chance and it can't be missed

Sleeping in my head, sleeping like I'm already dead
Scared that I'll never wake up
Dreaming there was more, dreaming life was worth living for
Time that I'll never make up
Scared that I'm losing touch
Here where I have enough
Wake up
