Wake Me Up
Madilyn Bailey Lyrics

Feel my way through the darkness
Navigating life with no clear path or direction, but relying on intuition and emotion to guide me through.

Guided by a beating heart
Using my passion and drive as a compass to lead me towards my goals and aspirations.

I can't tell where the journey will end
Uncertainty about what the future holds, but remaining hopeful and optimistic.

But I know where to start
Despite the uncertainty, I have a clear sense of purpose and direction to begin my journey.

They tell me I'm too young to understand
Others may doubt my abilities or question my decisions because of my age, but I am confident in my choices and potential.

They say I'm caught up in a dream
Critics may view my ambitions as unrealistic or impractical, but I am committed to pursuing my dreams and making them a reality.

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
I cannot waste time or let opportunities slip away by being passive or complacent; I must be alert and proactive to achieve my goals.

Well that's fine by me
I am willing to face any setbacks, obstacles, or missed opportunities along the way, because they will not deter me from pursuing my dreams.

So wake me up when it's all over
I am fully dedicated to my journey, but also acknowledge that I may need help or guidance along the way to achieve my goals.

When I'm wiser and I'm older
I hope to gain more knowledge, experience, and growth through my journey, in order to become a better and more fulfilled individual.

All this time I was finding myself
I am not just pursuing external success or recognition, but also seeking internal discovery, self-awareness, and personal growth.

And I didn't know I was lost
Despite my confidence and drive, I realize now that I had been struggling with feeling lost, disconnected, or unfulfilled, but am now committed to overcoming those feelings and finding purpose.

I tried carrying the weight of the world
I have felt overwhelmed or burdened by my responsibilities, challenges, or expectations, but have learned to ask for help or let go of unnecessary pressure when needed.

But I only have two hands
I am not invincible or all-powerful, and recognize my limitations and need for support and collaboration in order to achieve my goals.

I hope I get the chance to travel the world
I have a sense of wanderlust or curiosity about exploring new cultures, experiences, and perspectives, and hope to do so in my lifetime.

But I don't have any plans
While I have dreams and aspirations, I am open to uncertainty and spontaneity, and am comfortable with not having everything mapped out or predetermined.

I wish that I could stay forever this young
I recognize that youth and innocence can bring a sense of freedom, wonder, and joy that may be harder to find in adulthood, but am also excited for the opportunities and growth that come with age and experience.

Not afraid to close my eyes
I am willing to take risks, embrace vulnerability, and trust my instincts, even if it means facing uncertainty or potential failure.

Life's a game made for everyone
I see life as an unpredictable and subjective journey, with no guaranteed outcomes or rules, but one that allows for individual interpretation and creativity.

And love is the prize
Ultimately, I believe that the most fulfilling and rewarding aspect of life is the connection, compassion, and love that we give and receive with others.
