Awake
Bianca Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will never and never be seen
Shouting out loud
Gotta find a way out of this dream
Mmm, 'cause I don't want to hide
Not from the world outside
Today my eyes are open wide
And now I'm awake
I have no fear, won't disappear
I'll still be here tomorrow
And now I'm awake
I'm feeling feel strong, I'll carry on
A thousand years and more
Maybe we try
But I'm tired I just wanna be free
Maybe I found
There's quiet people like me
Mmm, but there's a noise within
That's where our voice begins
And there's a sound of silence
And now I'm awake
I have no fear, won't disappear
I'll still be here tomorrow
Yeah now I'm awake
I'm feeling feel strong, I'll carry on
A thousand years and more
So every step I
Take's a leap of faith
Everywhere I go I
Find my strength
And now I'm awake
Mmm, I have no fear, won't disappear
I'll still be here tomorrow
Yeah now I'm awake
I'm feeling feel strong, I'll carry on
A thousand years and more
Now I'm awake
Now I'm awak
Oh, now I'm awake
Now I'm awake
Now I'm awake
