??I Need to Wake Up???ª?ªMelissa Etheridge

Have I been sleeping?

    I??ve been so still

    Afraid of crumbling

    Have I been careless?

    Dismissing all the distant rumblings Take me where I am supposed to be To comprehend the things that I can??t see

Cause I need to move

    I need to wake up

    I need to change

    I need to shake up

    I need to speak out

    Something??s got to break up I??ve been asleep

    And I need to wake up

    Now

And as a child

    I danced like it was 1999

    My dreams were wild

    But the promise of this new world Would be mine

    Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth

    To listen to an inconvenient truth

Well I need to move

    I need to wake up

    I need to change

    I need to shake up

    I need to speak out

    Something??s got to break up I??ve been asleep

    And I need to wake up

    Now

I am not an island

    I am not alone

    I am my intentions

    Trapped here in this flesh and bone

And I need to move

    I need to wake up I need to change

    I need to shake up I need to speak out Something??s got to break up

    I??ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now

I want to change

    I need to shake up I need to speak out Something??s got to break up

    I??ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now
