  • Feeling my way through the darkness
    Guided by a beating heart
    I can't tell where the journey will end
    But I know where to start
    They tell me I'm too young to understand
    They say I'm caught up in a dream
    Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
    Well that's fine by me

    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself
    And I didn't know I was lost

    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself
    And I didn't know I was lost

    I tried carrying the weight of the world
    But I only have two hands
    Hope I get the chance to travel the world
    But I don't have any plans
    Wish that I could stay forever this young
    Not afraid to close my eyes
    Life's a game made for everyone
    And love is a prize

    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself
    And I didn't know I was lost

    So wake me up when it's all over
    When I'm wiser and I'm older
    All this time I was finding myself
    And I didn't know I was lost

    I didn't know I was lost
    I didn't know I was lost
    I didn't know I was lost
    I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know Writer/s: Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins, Michael Aaron Einziger, Tim Bergling
