Wide Awake
Verse 1
They tried to hide the truth
But I uncovered it
What was presented to me was misinformation
They tried to intimidate me
But I stood up to them
What was presented to me were scare tactics
For too long I believed in what I saw
For too long I believed in what I heard
For too long I believed in what I read
Verse 2
They tried to weaken me
But I become stronger
What was presented to me was lethal
They tried to rob me
But I caught onto them
What was presented to me was a false sense of security
For too long I believed in what they talked about
For too long I believed in what they did
For too long I believed in them
Bridge
Yes, I was blind to what was in front of me
I felt that things weren't the way they seemed to be
Now I am wide awake
And that's more than I could ask for
Chorus 1
I see everything that I didn't before
Now I am wide awake
I know everything that I need to know
Now I am wide awake
I hear everything that I didn't before
Now I am wide awake
Chorus 2
I see - I am wide awake
I know - I am wide awake
I hear - I am wide awake
