It's another day, it's another dawn
The calm before the storm something's going on
There's a mystic vibe hanging in the air
Hairs on the back off my neck stand up
This funny feeling that I've never felt before
Oh Lord you hit me hard something I can't ignore
Time to do better than I did before
Keep fallin' but I still stand up
I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
Night still in my eyes
I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
Night still in my eyes
Gotta make it happen, gotta make it work
Fingers to the bone, knees in the dirt
Try to catch the worm like the early bird
But I ain't working for the man right now
Lord knows I'm feeling' better than I 've ever (been) did
Try to keep me down but I ain't giving in
Looking at the world that we're living in
It all falls into place right now
So I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
Night still in my eyes
I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
Night still in my eyes
So I'm up before the city awakes.......
Ready for whatever today's gonna bring me
Wide awake, wide awake
Ready for whatever today's gonna bring me
Wide awake, wide awake
Ready for whatever today's gonna bring me
Wide awake, wide awake
Ready for whatever today's gonna bring me
Wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake
So I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
Night still in my eyes
So I'm up before the city awakes
Watch it slowly come to life
The city's awake, The city's awake, The city's awake,
The city's awake now
Night still in my eyes
