0:07Feeling my way through the darkness
0:12Guided by a beating heart
0:15I can't tell where the journey will end
0:19But I know where to start
0:23They tell me I'm too young to understand
0:27They say I'm caught up in a dream
0:31Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
0:35Well, that's fine by me
0:37So wake me up when it's all over
0:42When I'm wiser and I'm older
0:45All this time, I was finding myself, and I
0:50Didn't know I was lost
0:53So wake me up when it's all over
0:57When I'm wiser and I'm older
1:01All this time, I was finding myself, and I
1:06Didn't know I was lost
1:10♪
1:56I tried carrying the weight of the world
2:00But I only have two hands
2:04Hope I get the chance to travel the world
2:08But I don't have any plans
2:12Wish that I could stay forever this young
2:16Not afraid to close my eyes
2:19Life's a game made for everyone
2:24And love is the prize
2:26So wake me up when it's all over
2:30When I'm wiser and I'm older
2:34All this time, I was finding myself, and I
2:39Didn't know I was lost
2:41So wake me up when it's all over
2:46When I'm wiser and I'm older
2:49All this time, I was finding myself, and I
2:54Didn't know I was lost
2:58I didn't know I was lost
3:02I didn't know I was lost
3:06I didn't know I was lost
3:10I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
3:12♪
