So good to see a friendly face
Living in shadows
I was walking a wire without a safety net
Fighting to break through
Trying to outrun the human race
Sleeping with voodoo
I opened my eyes and saw your face
You showed me there's a place
Where I am Wide Awake, I'm wide awake
The mountains shake to my earthquake
And everyone is my friend
I'm wide awake, so wide awake
The future's bright alive with light
And I am free to be a kid again
One hand on the throttle
But I always had one hand on the brake
Under the spotlight
I was never alone, but I always was by myself
I want to be famous
Willing to sleep with a rattlesnake
Looking for daylight
Trying to wake up from this nightmare screaming
You showed me my mistake
And now I am Wide Awake, I'm wide awake
The ramparts fall love conquers all
And everyone is my friend
I'm wide awake, forever wide awake
The future's bright, alive with light
I can see a place where I could always be a hopeless case
And if I didn't learn to bend you know that I would break
But now I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
The mountains shake to my earthquake
And everyone is my friend
I'm wide awake, so wide awake
The future's bright, alive with light
And I am free to be a kid again
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
The ramparts fall love conquers all
And everyone is my friend, everyone is my friend
Where everyone's free to be a kid again
