VERSE 1:
Watch and wait
It’s too late
Watch me as I leave you
Couldn’t see
Where you’d be
and I need for you to
CHORUS:
Look at yourself
Question your thoughts
Open your mind
Be who you are
Don’t lose sight of
What’s at stake
It’s your life

Verse 1:
Overshadowed
Under clouds
Sun is beating
I know how,
to be free
from everything
Chase away bad dreams
Sun and sand
Salt and spray
Be alive
Be awake
Don’t have fears
