Lyrics
Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well, that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time, I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time, I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time, I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time, I was finding myself, and I Didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
