wake up

i used to dream of another time, a sacred place filled with candlelight and angel cries
it wasn't dark, it wasn't light, it wasn't anything but a perfect paradise
wake up, welcome to reality, take a seat
it's a bumpy ride, keep your hands inside
you've been told before, you should not believe everything you see
wake up, welcome to reality, take a piece
as i come to wake this day, i think of all the things i'd change
to make my world a better place

i built this dream on another time, a sacred place filled with happiness, but i was blind
it wasn't wrong it wasn't right, it wasn't anything but a figment of my mind
wake up, welcome to reality, it's a best
it will take your life, leave your soul behind
you should know by now you should not believe everything you see
wake up, welcome to reality, take a piece
as i come to wake this day, i think of all the things i'd change
to make my world a better place
