Wake Me Gently
I was scared to death
Afraid to close my eyes
And find that I was gone
Like every other one
Who left before the dawn
I vanished in the air
Am I still there
Wake me gently
If you can Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at
Is where I want to leave
And in my sleep
I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets
This dream's a novel
That I don't dare complete
No happy ending read
I think the hero's dead
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at
Is where I want to leave
Me to my slumber
And I'll never come home
Please help me, I'm frightened
Of what's going on
What's going on
And if I can't wake up Will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here
Or will I bump into
Some other wandering soul
And will they talk to me
Somebody, somebody please rescue me
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at
Is where I want to leave
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don't wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up please
'Cuz I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wake me
Wake me

I Want To Wake Up
I heard what you said, and I can tell you its true
I heard youve said that I am crazy about you
Turn in my sleep, the bad dream is over
Think of you and shall I ever recover?
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
I stood at the kitchen-sink, my radio played
Songs like tainted love and love is strange
As I listened and the words hit my ears
I cried sudden tears
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
Wake up
(wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(its mad, its mad, its mad)
Its mad, to be in love with someone else
When youre in love with him, shes in love with me
But you know as well as I do
I can never think of anyone but you
(all my life,
All my life
I want to wake up)
Play with fire, play with guns
Its easy to impress someone
Turning in my sleep, you call me a fool
To fall in love, is it so uncool?
Now, I want to wake up
How I want to wake up
Now, I want to wake up
Wake up
(wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up - ooh ooh ooh oh oh

Someone Else
Sit here alone
I wonder whats the use
Im so bored Im just killing time
Can you explain to me
I just dont understand
Why my skin has wore so damn thin
I realize that its been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
Im so tired today
I think Ill just lay down
Hibernate just for a year or so
No matter what I do the day just slips away
I need to take some time and start it all again
I realize that its been said before
Although I try I dont know whats in store
I realize.......
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else again...
I realize that is has been worse before
I realize.....
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
Dont wanna not gonna
Dont have to be myself today
I want to wake up as someone else
I have to except that
I guess Im stuck with me today
I have to wake up and be myself again

Wanna Be There
I wanna be there
When you turn out the lights
I wanna be there
But Im here on this lonely highway
In the middle of nowhere
I wanna hold you
If you wake up in the night
I wanna hold you
I wanna be there in the morning
I wanna touch you
cause you know tonight
Theres nowhere else that I would rather be
Im not the same when youre not here with me
Close your eyes and say a little prayed
And baby Im gonna be there
I wanna be there
I wanna be there
Wanna be there in the morning
Oh, I wanna be there

I Dont Wanna Think About You
Can you leave me here alone now?
I dont wanna hear you say.
That you know me,
That I should be, always doing what you say.
Cause I'm trying to get you today,
And there one thing I know...
CHORUS
I don't wanna think about you, or think about me
Don't wanna figure this out.
I don't wanna think about you, or think about nothing.
Don't wanna talk this one out.
I Won't let you bring me down,
Won't let you shut me out
This time I know
I don't wanna think about you.
When I wake up here tomorrow,
Things will never be the same,
Cause I won't wait,
Cause you won't change,
And you'll always be this way.
Now I'm gonna get you today,
And theres one thing I know...
CHORUS
Run away, run away, I'm running as fast as I can.
Run away, run away, I'll never go back again.
Run away, run away.
I don't wanna think about you
or think about me.
Don't wanna figure this out.
I don't wanna think about you
or think about me.
Don't wanna talk this one out...
CHORUS
Run away, run away, don't wanna think about you!!!
Run away, run away, don't wanna think about you!!!
Run away, run away, don't wanna think about you!!!
Run away, run away...

I Wanna Go Home
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Time passing by
I don't know for how long
Mountains on each side
and the sky above
rolling, rolling, rolling
on the dusty ground
dirt in my eyes
it's hurting my mind
oh
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Drenched in sweat
as I wake in the night
a drip on my face
from the pitch black sky
falling, falling, falling
is the blood that I shred
in the endless quest
of getting home again
oh
I wanna go home
I wanna go home

Wake Up Little Susie
Wake up little susie, wake up. wake up little susie, wake up.
The movie wasnt so hot, it didnt have much of a plot
We fell asleep, out goose is cooked, our reputation is shot
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie
What are you gonna tell your mama, what you gonna tell your pa
What are you gonna tell your friend when they say ooo la la
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie
Well I told your mama that youd be back by ten
Now susie, baby looks like we goofed again
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie, we gotta go home
Wake up little susie, wake up. wake up little susie, wake up.
The bullfrogs sound asleep, wake up little susie and weep
Its four oclock and were in trouble deep
Wake up little susie, wake up little susie

Please Tell Me I'm Dreaming
Wake me up
I must be in a dream
Wake me up
I'm not where Im suppose to be
Please save me from this aweful dream
Cuz I'm not where Im suppose to be and it's scaring me
Wake me up from this never ending nightmare
Make it stop
Cause I'm stuck in Oz with Dorothy
And I wanna go home, but theres no red shoes in site
Wake me up from this hell I'm dreaming of
Please save me
Don't you think Ive have enought
Can you please turn off the on switch
I would be very grateful
But whatever you do dont tell me I'm not dreaming

I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I didn't even start this stupid fight
Whatever the reason, killing don't seem right
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
The reasons and facts all tend to confuse
Fighting for land that I will never use
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
I'm tired of shooting and blasting and running
And killing and choking and falling and gunning
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I don't wanna die
Through history soldiers can be heard
Shouting in pain the following words
I don't wanna die
I wanna go home!

Work - the cycle
Wake, work, home, eat sleep
This cycle keeps on and on
As the time it takes is so long
Wake, work, home, eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
This cycle don’t seem at all to end
All your life in work you seem to spend
Wake work home eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
You start to see your life is slipping away
As people no longer around you stay
Wake work home eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
I’m surprised now I’m even getting time to eat
It would be bliss to stop rest my feet
Wake work home eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
You doing so many hours you feel ill
And you keep doing the cycle still
Wake work home eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
People bosses customers just keep adding more
You start to long for sleep and to snore
Wake work home eat sleep
Wake work home eat sleep
Something drastic happens the cycle breaks
And that all that it really takes
Wake work home eat sleep no more., ….
They Oughta Wanna Be Conscious
Some folks want to live,
And not contribute.
Consume and complain.
Talk about others,
Who share in likeminded cliques.
Avoiding situations,
To leave what they should solve...
For someone else to handle it.
They oughta wanna be...
Conscious.
They came upon this life to play,
A game
That didn't go their way.
They wanna be up,
Don't wanna be down.
They wanna be so high...
So they can float around.
They wanna feel real good,
Don't wanna feel bad.
They wanna have all of their friends believing...
They've got more than they actually have.
They wanna lay in bed all damn day.
Don't wanna work to earn their pay.
They wanna be rich,
Don't wanna be poor.
They want a big fat check,
Laying at the front door.
And hoping that a breeze...
Will blow it across the floor!
They wanna have sex.
Don't wanna be without.
They wanna be in love...
Don't wanna be in doubt.
They oughta wanna be...
Conscious!
Yeah that's it!
They oughta wanna wake up,
From their own stupid...
Ssshhhhh
Obviousness!
And if that should happen,
While there's still time.
Maybe they will find peace of mind!
And remove self destruction...
As a means to find time to whine.
They oughta wanna be conscious...
Yeah.
That's it!

I wanna be your girl
I wanna be the girl you wake up beside every morning
I wanna be the girl you hold hands with every time we walk in the park
I wanna be the girl you answer the phone to at 3am In the morning
I wanna be the girl you tell all your secrets to
I wanna be the girl you hold tight
I wanna be the girl you sing to
I wanna be the girl you write love notes too
I wanna be oh so close to you
I wanna give you my love
I wanna show you I care
I wanna show I’ll be there
I wanna kiss you In the pouring rain
I wanna hug you in the icy snow
I wanna never let you go
I wanna make sure no one ever hurts you
And I wanna help you love me in return
And well I just want you to know I love you
I love you
I love and I will never ever let you go
Because I wanna be your girl

Stage
I wanna feel
I wanna try
I wanna rock in the city tonight
I wanna deal
Dont wanna die
I wanna bring my captain hook into the light
People Ive seen my day
Ranting and raving this beauty away
We are by and large the same
But words are too feeble, they cannot contain
He was a rock and roll messiah
She was known for her childcare
The truth is gonna give up the world
If you can give up the stage
If I can give up the stage
If we can give up the stage
Come to this, I cant come to you
Dont do this, wake me up tonight
Come to this, I cant come to you
Dont do this, wake me up tonight

Wake Up, Stop Dreaming
Wake up, stop dreaming
The sun is in the sky again
Theres a hole in the ocean
And waters pouring through
Oh, wake up stop dreaming
And wipe the sleep from your eyes
Are you frightened of heights
Are you falling
Chorus:
Wake up stop dreaming
Theres more than just two steps to heaven
Im saying if you wanna get to heaven
Youd better wake up
Wake up, stop dreaming
Im talkin bout dream and reality
Im talkin bout love and brutality
And Im saying wake up
Wake up
Wake up stop dreaming
Before the shutters start to groan
Well its something you said in the noon day sun
But I dont recall,
I dont recall
Wake up stop dreaming
Stop this seeming half reality
Dont turn your face away
Look at me
As you lie sleeping
Someones keeping everything I knew
Dont try to run away
Its all new
Repeat chorus

Sonnet-A New Year's Sonnet
Wake up; Wake up, for a New Year is born!
Spring-time has come and the Oak has acorn;
Wake up; Wake up, for the sweet songs of Birds;
They twitter and chatter, flying in hordes.
Wake up; Wake up, for the meadow is green;
The landscape is so bright, lively, serene;
Wake up; Wake up, for the tall grass in dance,
To the tune of the Wind, marching perchance.
Wake up; Wake up, for the gorgeous flowers,
Have blossom'd after the Spring-time showers;
Wake up; Wake up, for the Sun has come out;
’Tis warm day indeed for running about.
Wake up; Wake up, for the weather is fine;
’Tis time you made peace with neighbours with wine

Alone Like Me!
Do you want to be
Alone like me?
Alone like me? ?
Alone like me? ? ?
Then wake up one day
And decide that
You wanna touch the sky,
But you wanna touch alone!
Alone - I need to be.
Alone – somebody take me home,
But alone!
For, I need to be alone.
Thats all I need.
Alone is best for me! !

I Dont Want This Song To End
(nettie musick/tony ramey)
Well I dont wanna hear last call
And I dont wanna look at the clock on the wall
Lets lose track of time while were dancing this close
And I dont really care if no ones around
We can just stay right here until the moon goes down
If it were left up to me, I would never let go
But if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Let me look in your eyes and count the stars
Let me hold you tight next to my heart
And Ill whisper I love you for the rest of my life
Lets make believe the music plays
For just you and me could make the world go away
In perfect time you will always be mine
But if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shine again
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Yeah if this is a dream then I dont wanna wake up
And see the sun shining in
As long as youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end
Now if youre in my arms
I dont want this song to end

You're Like a Child
You're an idiot, that's for sure
You'll never learn
You're a dumbass
That won't ever change
And through you have a grown man's body
Through you claim to be so very macho
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
And crybaby all I want for you to know is
You're like a child
You don't know what a job is
You don't wanna ever leave your mama's home
All I want for you to know is
Your constant clinging to my purse strings brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me to have to put up with you
I know you too damn well
And through you look like a grown man
Through you claim to be so very macho
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
And crybaby all I want you to know is
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
All I want for you to know is
It's not that I wanna say goodbye
It's just time that you try to grow up
Stand on your own
Each and every single day you know
You're going to have to eventually move away
And through you look like a grown man
And through you claim to be ever so very macho
I know deep down
You're just scared
That through life you won't make it on your own
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
And crybaby all I want you to know is
You don't what a job is
You don't ever leave your mama's home
All I want you to know is
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
And crybaby all I want you to know is
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
All I want you to know is
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
And crybaby all I want you to know is
You're like a child
You sit and waste away
You don't know what a job is
You don't ever wanna leave your mama's home
All I want for you to know is

Don't Wake Me Up
Don't wake me up
I'm dreaming of you
Your skin
Your kiss
Your touch
Your laugh
Don't wake me up
I feel your skin
I smell your hair
I taste your lips
I see your eyes
I hear your laugh
Don't wake me up
Lest I forget
You never know
What if?
What if I forget
And it never happened
And you cease to exist to me
And it seems never to have happened
Please leave a reminder
So I never forget
Don't wake me up
Or I might break
I might fall apart
I might lose you
I might fail
I might forget
What then?
There's nothing left
So don't wake me up
Because you are all that I have
Your skin
Your lips
Your smell
Your touch
Your laugh
Your hair
Your eyes
So don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Because I need you
And without you
There is nothing to wake up to
Don't wake me up
