Dead man walking
Verse
I was a dead man walking
Breathing but not alive.
Spent most of my life sleeping.
Believing other’s lies.
Pre chorus
I don’t know when, don’t know where
It all went so wrong.
The moment I stopped breathing
Why I don’t belong.
Chorus
Shake me, wake me; make me
Awaken to the truth.
Awaken to the truth.
Awaken to the truth.
Verse
I was a young child dreaming
Wishing that I could fly
Spent most of my time hating
The joy in other’s lives.
Pre chorus
I don’t know when, don’t know where
It all went so wrong.
The moment I stopped breathing
Why I don’t belong.
Chorus
Shake me, wake me, and make me
Awaken to the truth.
Awaken to the truth.
Awaken to the truth.
Bridge
I’ve been like Rip van Winkle 7
Turned old in the blink of an eye. 8
Stumbled thru life unaware
As the pages of life sped by.

Awaken to the truth.
Awaken to the truth.
