I've been there before and
I think you know too
the kind of rules some people play by
I wish that I could know for sure
from the very start
who's good and who's bad
'cause it tears me up till I'd
rather stay indoors
wake me, tell me I'm alright
wake me up and tell me there's a light
wake me, tell me I'm ok
tell me I did some good today
I'm weak and may be tiring
don't believe in much to come
and there's nothing much around
in life but you
feeling kind of homesick
about a home lost years ago
but that's nothing I can
do a thing about
well I've got friends who know my name
who won't let me get way down
in them I can lay my trust
they read my face and they
bring me back to home
wake me, tell me I'm alright
wake me up and tell me there's a light
wake me, tell me I'm ok
tell me I did some good today
what's lost is lost
got to kill that thought
I think you know too
the kind of rules some people play by
I wish that I could know for sure
from the very start
who's good and who's bad
'cause it tears me up till I'd
rather stay indoors

wake me, tell me I'm ok
tell me I did some good today
