Wake Up Lyrics by Take Cover

The Dreamer and the Realist

0

[Intro]
I figured it out today
While all the sheep are sleeping
The shepherd’s keeping wolves away
We all have a role to play
But make no mistake
It's yours to take

[Chorus]
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of

[Verse 1]
Are you afraid to dream because of what the world has done to you?
Are you afraid to walk out your front door?
Hey dreamer
(Hey dreamer, hey dreamer)
What are you waiting for?
(What are you waiting for?)
(Hey dreamer, hey dreamer)
Hey dreamer
(Hey dreamer, hey dreamer)
What are you waiting for?
(Hey dreamer, hey dreamer)
Hey dreamer
(Keep treading water but I can’t swim forever)
(Hey dreamer, hey dreamer)
What are you waiting for?
(Keep treading water but I can’t swim forever)
Hey dreamer
(Keep treading water but I can’t swim forever)
What are you waiting for?
(Keep treading water but I can’t swim forever)

[Pre-Chorus]
Who are you?
What have you done to yourself?
Take a good hard look in the mirror
If you find that you don’t like what you see
Remember who you used to
Remember who you used to be

[Chorus]
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of
When the day comes
You’ll find there’s nothing you’re afraid of
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of
When the day comes
You’ll find there’s nothing you’re afraid of

[Chorus]
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of
When the day comes
You’ll find there’s nothing you’re afraid of
Wake up
Stand up and show ‘em what you’re made of
When the day comes
You’ll find there’s nothing you’re afraid of
