Wake Up Call Lyrics
[Intro]
This is your wake-up call…
Young hearts be free
[Verse 1]
Get up, get on, get out about and shout it
Tell 'em all you're dressed and on your way
Oh, there's absolutely no doubt about it
[Chorus 1]
This is your wake-up call
You're going to miss it all
[Verse 2]
Am I the only one out there that's listening
Because it's such a lovely noise that I can hear
Eyes are opening up to all around them
[Chorus 1]
This is their wake-up call
They're going to miss it all
[Chorus 2]
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
This is your wake-up call…
Young hearts be free
[Verse 1]
Get up, get on, get out about and shout it
Tell 'em all you're dressed and on your way
Oh, there's absolutely no doubt about it
[Chorus 1]
This is your wake-up call
You're going to miss it all
[Verse 2]
Am I the only one out there that's listening
Because it's such a lovely noise that I can hear
Eyes are opening up to all around them
[Chorus 1]
This is their wake-up call
They're going to miss it all
[Chorus 2]
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
[Verse 3]
You're not the only one out there who's running
But the man who's sitting next to you's asleep
So pick him up and shake him till he hears you
[Chorus 1]
This is his wake-up call
He's going to miss it all
[Chorus 2]
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
[Verse 4]
Those who've done all they can do sleep easy
Those that turn away, they sleep alone
But there's no doubt about it absolutely
[Chorus 1]
This is a wake-up call
We're going to miss it all
This is a wake-up call
We're going to miss it all
You're not the only one out there who's running
But the man who's sitting next to you's asleep
So pick him up and shake him till he hears you
[Chorus 1]
This is his wake-up call
He's going to miss it all
[Chorus 2]
Can you feel what's happening here
Everything is changing all around you
It's in the air, electricity
Everybody, yes everybody's waking up
Good morning to you
[Verse 4]
Those who've done all they can do sleep easy
Those that turn away, they sleep alone
But there's no doubt about it absolutely
[Chorus 1]
This is a wake-up call
We're going to miss it all
This is a wake-up call
We're going to miss it all
[Outro]
This is your wake-up call
This is your wake-up call
This is your wake-up call
You're going to miss it
You're going to miss it all
This is your wake-up call
This is your wake-up call
This is your wake-up call
You're going to miss it
You're going to miss it all
