Wake Me Up
The Gym All-Stars Lyrics

Feeling my way through the darkness
Navigating through uncertain and challenging circumstances

Guided by a beating heart
Taking guidance from one's instincts and emotions

I can't tell where the journey will end
Uncertainty about the final outcome of the journey

But I know where to start
Awareness of the initial steps to take

They tell me I'm too young to understand
Others believe I lack the necessary experience or wisdom

They say I'm caught up in a dream
Others think I'm overly focused on unrealistic aspirations

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
If I don't change my perspective, I'll miss out on opportunities

Well that's fine by me
I am accepting of the potential consequences

So wake me up when it's all over
Let me know when the challenging phase has ended

When I'm wiser and I'm older
When I have gained more knowledge and experience

All this time I was finding myself
Throughout the journey, I discovered my true identity

And I (didn't know I was lost)
I didn't realize I had lost my way

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Desire to retain the innocence and fearlessness of youth

Not afraid to close my eyes
Having no fear of embracing the unknown

Life's a game made for everyone
Life offers opportunities and challenges for all individuals

And love is the prize
Love is the ultimate reward or goal to strive for

Wake me up (when it's all over)
Inform me when the difficult period has concluded

All this time I didn't know I was lost
I was unaware of my own sense of purposelessness

So wake me up when it's all over
Let me know when the challenging phase has ended

When I'm wiser and I'm older
When I have gained more knowledge and experience

All this time I was finding myself
Throughout the journey, I discovered my true identity

And I didn't know I was lost
I was oblivious to my own state of being lost

So wake me up when it's all over (all over)
Notify me when the challenging phase has completely ended

When I'm wiser and I'm older (and I'm older)
When I have gained more knowledge and experience

All this time I was finding myself (myself, myself)
Throughout the journey, I discovered my true identity repeatedly

And I didn't know I was lost
I was completely unaware of my own state of being lost

Didn't know I was lost
I had no realization that I had lost my way

Didn't know I was lost
I lacked self-awareness of my own sense of purposelessness
