Wake up call
At six am
Just died in a dream
At the wedding of an old friend
I had to fly on down
On paper wings
But I couldn't pull out
And then I woke up singing
A mournful hymn
About a life so sweet
That no one stopped living
For just one second to think
Of what we leave behind
For the children to sing
Try to anesthetize them
And they may never start listening
To the world outside
And all the change they'll bring
So come on, hold on tight, love
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening
So let's face the fire
That we may cage the Sun
From that place inside
We crave to know what must be done
There's no reason to hide
There's nowhere left to run
So you may choose to die, love
But you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
So on, hold on tight, love
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening
Will we close our eyes
And go back to sleep
Just let the world flow by
You'll never have to fight to swim upstream
Or let your heart burn bright
In spite of everything
You gotta choose tonight
That you will never stop listening
That you will never stop listening
That you will never stop listening
So come on, hold on tight, love
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop
That you may never
That you may never stop
That you may never stop
That you will, that you will never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
That you may never stop listening
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening
