Lying Awake Lyrics

Album: A Passage In Time (2002)

 

 

 Lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside
yeah!

 Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!

 At age 14 no inhibitions, and I sure as hell did not need your permission

 Never looking forward, and I was never looking back, and I'd never known
what's next

 But as the days had gone by, both ignorant and blind

 New visions of a world started ?lling my eyes!

 Tossing and turning, with eyes open wide, that is where I ?nd!

 I'm lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all
aside yeah!

 Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!

 Years go by as we start to see

 So many generations torn by poverty and greed

 So many whining that their lives are oh so bad

 But far better than so many, it's sad!

 Becoming intoxicated by all of the madness

 And all of the pain that they've been through

 Hoping and searching, a world in despair, right outside, no more!

 I'm lying awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all
aside yeah!

 Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!

 There's just got to some other way, those people are dying today

 There's just got to be some other time, that they are going to ?nd

 There's just got to be some sort of progress, some other way they're going to
know

 There's just got to be another means to an end, here's to hoping that it will
show!

 Wake up!

 Like some people in our society

 And it grows, planted like a seed

 So what do we do when it comes down on you

 Cries ring out as a chime for awakening

 Taking the time to listen up, maybe don't turn away

 Maybe showing interest could show them light of day

 (Can't you see their faces)

 Well it's a pretty ?ne line as community paces

 Stepping up to the edge daily different cases

 (Oh can't you see their faces coming around, so many faces,

 different places with so many face down)

 Third world tragedy, another in store

 Another taste of what's real, can they take anymore?

 Lying awake, lost in time with no reason to turn around and put it all aside,
yeah!

 Here today, gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows

 Awake, lost in time, with no reason to turn around and put it all aside,
yeah!

 Here today gone tomorrow, while drowning in all of their sorrows!

 I'm lying awake!
