And I, I was up past the dawn
Spots of twilight gone
I've been hounded by the wounds that with speak
And spittle bitter tongue

Things eclipsing all the time
For better and worse alike
And I always learn the hard way
An instinct to be true, an instinct to be true

And I'm, gonna tell this world
The only difference now is that I'm vigilant
And I'm, gonna spread my wings
'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And I, I was walking on a fire
Coals beneath my feet
The smoke has risen up
And nearly suffocated me

Things eclipsing all the time
For better and worse alike
I always learn the hard way
An instinct to be true, an instinct to be true

And I'm, gonna tell this world
The only difference now is that I'm vigilant
And I'm, gonna spread my wings
'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And oh, everywhere I go
Taking with that same new feeling with me now
It get me through my ups and downs

And oh, everywhere I go
Taking with that same new feeling with me now
It get me through my ups and downs

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
