Wake Up

We are the patient dreamers
Insomniatic schemers
We are the children, the children of the late night
We’ve given up on wishes, belief in superstitions

They always fade, they fade at first light
This world won’t change itself, it’s here for us to take it
The fate that we’ve been waiting for, it’s here for us to make it

Alarms are ringing
We don’t need the warning
Our eyes are stinging
Through the burning days of this first morning

We're all waiting for the world to wake up
Open their eyes to the sunrise
New day dawning, and it's time to shake up
It's our day, do it our way
Whoa
We're all waiting for the world to wake up

We took the time for granted, while others raged and ranted
We were busy, living in the new way
They gave us every reason, to calculate our treason
So here we are, fighting for the new day

Alarms are ringing
We don’t need the warning
Our eyes are stinging
Through the burning days of this first morning

We're all waiting for the world to wake up
Open their eyes to the sunrise
New day dawning, and it's time to shake up
It's our day, do it our way
Whoa
We're all waiting for the world to wake up

My dreams were metaphors
I woke up wanting something more (oh)
And you can hear me howling, a thousand voices, at the dawn
And I hear the other children come along

We're all waiting for the world to wake up
Open their eyes to the sunrise
New day dawning, and it's time to shake up
It's our day, do it our way
Whoa
We're all waiting for the world to wake up

(Whoa) wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Whoa
