Wide Awake - Rick Springfield

So nice to meet you

So good to see your friendly face

Living in shadows

I was walking around without a safety net

Finding a breakthrough

Try 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 shift to my earthquake

And everyone is my friend

I’m wide awake

So wide awake

The future’s bright and lined 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 rain parks fall, it conquers all

And everyone is my friend

I’m wide awake

So ever wide awake

The future’s bright and lined with light

I can see you’re graceful

I could always be your hopeless kiss

And if I didn’t learn to bend

You know that I would break

Now I’m wide awake

I’m wide awake

The mountains shift to my earthquake

And everyone is my friend

I’m wide awake

So wide awake

The future’s bright and lined with light

And I am free to be a kid again

I’m wide awake

I’m wide awake

The rain parks fall, it conquers all

And everyone is my friend

(And everyone is my friend)

And everyone is my friend

(And everyone is my friend)

And I am free to be a kid again
