Feeling my way through the darkness
Led by a beating heart
I can't tell where the story will end
But I know where to start…
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me…
So wake me up when it's just over
When I'm kinder and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Didn't know I was lost…
