How long, how long, will the river run dry?
'cause i'm so busy living i forgot to be alive
When i've lost count of the beat of your heart
Come on, come on, won't you wake me up?

Wake me up. wake me up. wake me up, yeah

'Cause when you shine
You bring to light
Even the darkest of nights
Wake me up to shine

I'm comin' home like a prodigal son
And if home's where the heart is mine is in the hands of god
And that is just where my heart belongs
Turn on the light, come on, wake me up

Wake me up. wake me up. wake me up

'Cause when you shine
You bring to light
Even the darkest of nights
You wake me up to shine
