I Need To Wake Up Lyrics - Icon - Melissa 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 

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 

Oh 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
