Melissa Etheridge - I Need To Wake Up

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
The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now i am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth

That 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
Oh, something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And i need to wake up
Now

This song talks about what is happening in our world. It says that we need to make the diference, that we need to do something now!

Tomorrow it could be to late!
