lyrics

Those who wake up are the nightmare of those still asleep
Those who wake up are not afraid that the price is too steep
They think, they research and sometimes they're wrong
One thing they don't do is blindly belong
They know that if they keep using their brain
They've got nothing to lose and everything to gain

Those who wake up are the nightmare of those still asleep
Those who wake up don't have to live their lives like sheep
They value the process of using their mind
They're never afraid to be left behind
They know that truth lives in their thoughts
And in the willingness to connect all the dots

So think for yourself
Put your old ways on a shelf
Yeah think, don't be scared
Don't live your life unprepared

Those who wake up are the nightmare of those still asleep
Those who wake up don't wanna live a life on the cheap
They got books to read, ideas to refute
But they don't have a need to just follow suit
They don't wanna be told how to think
They're free to change their mind every time they blink
