I was dreaming 'bout the way life used to be
Just a child who loved to run on the beach in California
The sound of the waves is all I needed
To feel as if my life was complete
(Chorus)
But somewhere in the middle my reality got too real
I fell into the darkness and the deep despair I couldn't feel
A part of me was missing when I wasn't true to myself
I needed to wake up, I knew it was time
(Verse)
Finally I woke up from my dream
And when I realized what I had to do
Find the strength to stand on my own two feet
And let the past just fade away
(Chorus)
So rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
(Pre-Chorus)
Sometimes I feel so alone, just want to close my eyes
But I will not give up now, must keep it in my stride
This is my chance, my one chance, this time it's for real
I'm never gonna sleep at all, forever is here tonight
(Verse)
I was waiting for the one, the one I never knew
Searching every corner, never found the truth
But now I look around and I can finally see
That what I've been looking for was right here all along
(Chorus)
So rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
(Bridge)
I am wide awake, I cannot escape
So I dance till the sunrise
I am wide awake, I cannot escape
So I dance till the sunrise
So rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (x2)
(Chorus)
So rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Rise up, rise up, rise up, rise up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up (x2)
