So nice to meet you So good to see your friendly face Living in shadows I was walking a wire without a safety net Fighting to breakthrough Trying to outrun the human race Sleeping with voodoo I opened my eyes and I 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 break 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'm 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 (And everyone is my friend) Everyone is my friend Everyone is my friend) And I am free to be a kid again
