Melissa Etheridge is a wise woman

Day off

Sleepy

cranky

Just woke up

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

And 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
