WAKE UPYes, I've really been thinking about your bodyYes, I've really been thinking about your faceYes, I've really been living inside a daydream...C'mon let's wake up the human raceLately I've been thinking about all the possibilities… Makes me want to sing and shout, about how crazy love can beI don't know what's going on, I'm checkin my astrologyIt feels like somebody’s turning up the heatOn the inside, nowhere to hideI get off my laptop and get outside Into the sunshine where everything's alrightI band together with the BAND of LIGHTI send my praise to god within,And then I see your face again,You know it makes me want to sing a song about you girl...Yes, I've really been thinking about your bodyYes, I've really been thinking about your faceYou know we've really been living inside a daydream...C'mon, let's wake up the human race(repeat)Finally I figured out what's been taking me so longTo open up and let it out, and sing for you my happy songI used to be afraid to lose - the love that I was holding onBut now I see my love is like the dawn…Yes like the sunshine, I rise every dayI give thanks and love guides the wayand all the answers are found withinI play the game ‘till everybody winsI don't need no sympathy, even when I feel lonelyBut sometimes I wish that you could hold me…Yes, I've really been thinking about your bodyYes, I've really been thinking about your faceYou know we've really been living inside a daydream...C'mon, let's wake up the human raceI sing lord, I'm all alone in the middle of the nightAsking who's still awake? Are you still awake?I'm singing lord, I'm all alone in the middle of the nightasking who's still awake?
