I'm wide awake
It's the middle of the night
I'm standing in the dark,
Waiting up for the light
And here I'll remain
Til the sun is in the sky
Standing in the dark
Waiting up for the light.

There is love,
There is peace in this world
So take it back
Say it's not what you thought

Grab a hold
Take these melodies
With your hands
Write a song to sing.

Isn't such a bad, bad world
And I say

These times are strange
I can feel it in the night
I'm standing in the dark
Holding up for the light
And here I'll remain
Til the great sun shines
Standing in the dark
Waiting up for the light

There is love,
There is peace in this world
So take it back
Say it's not what you thought

Grab a hold
Take these melodies
With your hands
Write a song to sing.

Isn't such a bad, bad world
And I say
