From the time we were young
We were wild eyed dreamers
Now we cautiously raise our eyes
The season has turned from one to the next
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
There's a burden we all must shoulder
So come on and put your back to the load
Tears won't help but to water the ground
Nothing, nothing will grow, so weep till you're dry
Or till you run dry
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
We are wide awake now
Wide awake now
Wide awake now
