Wakin’ Up Today

Wakin’ Up Today – Burton Cummings

I GOT WOUNDED IN THE DREAM,
BUT I TOOK IT LIKE A SOLDIER
I LOST MY HEART IN THE DREAM,
BUT AT LEAST I GOT OLDER
I SAW MY BABY IN THE DREAM,
BUT I NEVER GOT TO HOLD HER
WAKIN’ UP TODAY, WAKIN’ UP TODAY…

I GOT FRIGHTENED IN THE DREAM,
I GUESS FROM LOOKIN’ UP AT JESUS
I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT IN THE DREAM
JUST HOW FAR THEY’D GO TO PLEASE US
AND I WONDER WHAT HE’S LOOKIN’ AT
EACH AND EVERY TIME HE SEES US
WAKIN’ UP TODAY, WAKIN’ UP TODAY…

IT’S TOO LATE NOW TO RUN BACK FOR THE DARKNESS
IT’S TOO LATE NOW, THE NIGHT’S GONE
TOO LATE NOW CAUSE YOU’RE OFF ON YOUR JOURNEY
BUT YOU CAN’T GO ON, OH IT’S SO HARD TO GO ON…

BUT YOU’LL BE DYIN’ IN THE DREAM
IF YOU NEVER TRY FOR LIVIN’
THE ONLY COMMANDMENT IN THE DREAM
IS THAT YOU HAVE TO LEARN FORGIVIN’
CAUSE THE DYIN’ IS THE EASY PART
BUT THE DYIN’ GREETS THE LIVIN’
WAKIN’ UP TODAY, WAKIN’ UP TODAY…

HUSH LITTLE BABY DON’T YOU CRY…
HUSH LITTLE DARLIN’ DON’T YOU CRY
