I'm at war with the world and they,
Try to pull me into the dark;
I struggle to find my faith,
As I'm slippin’ from Your arms;
It's getting harder to stay awake,
And my strength is fading fast;
You breathe into me at last!

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! (Right here!)
Right now! (Right now!)
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

I’m at war with the world cause I,
Ain’t never gonna sell my soul;
I've already made up my mind,
No matter what, I can’t be bought or sold;
When my faith is getting weak,
And I feel like giving in,
You breathe into me again!

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! (Right here!)
Right now! (Right now!)
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!

In the dark,
I can feel you in my sleep,
In your arms I feel you breathe into me;
Forever hold this heart that I will give to You,
Forever I will live for You!

(Guitar solo)

I'm awake! I'm alive!
Now I know what I believe inside!
Now! It's my time!
I'll do what I want, ’cause this is my life!
Here! (Right here!)
Right now! (Right now!)
I'll stand my ground, and never back down;
I know what I believe inside,
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!
Waking up! Waking up!

I'm just a step away,
I'm a just a breath away;
Losin my faith today,
(Falling off the edge today!)

I am just a man,
Not superhuman;
(I'm not superhuman!)
Someone save me from the hate;

It's just another war,
Just another family torn;
(I'm falling from my faith today!)
Just a step from the edge,
Just another day in the world we live;

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)

I gotta fight today,
To live another day;
Speakin' my mind today,
(My voice will be heard today!)

I've gotta make a stand,
But I am just a man;
(I'm not superhuman!)
My voice will be heard today!

It's just another war,
Just another family torn;
(My voice will be heard today!)
It's just another kill,
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves!

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
I need a Hero!
Just in time!

Save me just in time...
Save me just in time...

Who's gonna fight for what's right,
Who's gonna help us survive,
We're in the fight of our lives!
(And we're not ready to die!)

Who's gonna fight for the weak,
Who's gonna make 'em believe,
I've got a Hero!
(I've got a Hero!)
Livin' in me!

I'm gonna fight for what's right,
Today I'm speaking my mind,
And if it kills me tonight,
(I will be ready to die!)

A Hero's not afraid to give His life,
A Hero's gonna save me just in time!

I need a Hero,
To save me now!
I need a Hero!
(Save me now!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
A Hero'll save me!
(Just in time!)
I need a Hero,
To save my life!
I need a Hero!
Just in time!

I need a Hero!
Who's gonna fight for what's right,
Who's gonna help us survive!

I need a Hero!
Who's gonna fight for the weak,
Who's gonna make 'em believe!

I need a Hero!
I need a Hero!

A Hero's gonna save me,
Just in time!

I went to bed, I was thinking about you,
Ain’t the same since I'm living without you;
All the memories are getting colder,
All the things that I wanna do over;
Went to bed, I was thinking about you,
I wanna talk and laugh like we used to;
When I see you in my dreams at night,
It's so real but it’s in my mind;

And now, I guess,
This is as good as it gets...

Don't wake me!
’Cause I don't wanna leave this dream,
Don't wake me!
’Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough,
When it's you I'm dreaming of,
I don't wanna wake up...

I went to bed, I was thinking about you,
And how it felt when I finally found you;
It's like a movie playing over in my head,
Don't wanna look, ’cause i know how it ends,
All the words that I said that I wouldn't say;
All the promises I made that I wouldn't break,
It’s last call, last song, last dance,
’Cause I can't get you back, can't get a second chance;

And now, I guess,
This is as good as it gets...

Don't wake me!
’Cause I don't wanna leave this dream,
Don't wake me!
’Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough,
When it's you I'm dreaming of,
I don't wanna wake up...
Don't wake me!
We're together just you and me;
Don't wake me!
’Cause we're happy like we used to be;
I know, I've gotta let you go,
But I don't want to be alone...

These dreams of you keep on growing stronger,
It ain’t a lot but it’s all I have;
Nothing to do but keep sleeping longer,
Don't wanna stop, cause I want you back!

Don't wake me!
’Cause I don't wanna leave this dream,
Don't wake me!
’Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough,
When it's you I'm dreaming of,
I don't wanna wake up...
Don't wake me!
We're together just you and me;
Don't wake me!
’Cause we're happy like we used to be;
I know, I've gotta let you go,
But I don't want to be alone...

(Don't wake me!)
I went to bed, I was thinking about you,
(’Cause I don't wanna leave this dream)
(Don't wake me!)
Ain’t the same since I'm living without you;
('Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough)

I know, I've gotta let you go!
But I don't want to wake up...

The secret side of me,
I never let you see,
I keep it caged, but I can't control it;
So stay away from me,
The beast is ugly,
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it;

It's scratchin on the walls,
In the closet, in the halls;
It comes awake and I can't control it;
Hidin' under the bed,
In my body, in my head;
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within!
It's just beneath the skin!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I hate what I've become!
The nightmare's just begun!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!

My secret side I keep,
Hid under lock and key;
I keep it caged, but I can't control it;
'Cause if I let him out,
He'll tear me up, break me down;
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end!

I feel it deep within!
It's just beneath the skin!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I hate what I've become!
The nightmare's just begun!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I feel it deep within!
It's just beneath the skin!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!

Its hidin in the dark,
Its teeth are razor sharp;
There's no escape for me,
It wants my soul, it wants my heart!
No one can hear me scream,
Maybe its just a dream;
Or maybe it's inside of me!
Stop this monster!!

I feel it deep within!
It's just beneath the skin!
I must confess that I
FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!!
I hate what I've become!
The nightmare's just begun!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I feel it deep within!
It's just beneath the skin!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!
I gotta lose control!
It's something radical!
I must confess that I feel like a monster!

I... I...
I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!
I... I...
I feel like a monster!
