Lying Awake (Album Version) - Authority Zero

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 filling my eyes

Tossing and turning with eyes open wide

That is where I find

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

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

Just got to some other way

The people are dying today

There's just got to be some other time

That they are going to find

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

Oohh

Goo

Wake up

Ohh like some people

In our society

And it grows planted like a seed

Oh

So what do we do when it comes down on you

Cries ring out as a chime for awakening

Oh oh

Taking time as you go maybe don't turn away

Maybe showing interest could show them light of day

Light of day

Well it's a pretty fine line as community paces

Stepping up to the edge daily different cases

Well it's a pretty fine line as community paces

Stepping up to the edge daily different cases

Third world tragedy another in store

Another taste of what's real can they take anymore

Another third world tragedy another in store

Another red like where his door

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

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

Oooohhhhh ooohhh

Yeah yeah

I'm lying awake
