Wide awake and feeling mortal
|
At this moment in the dream
|
That old man there in the mirror
|
And my shaky self-esteem
|
|
Here today and gone tomorrow
|
That’s the way it’s got to be
|
With an empty blue horizon
|
For as far as I can see
|
|
[Chorus]
|
God Almighty here I am
|
Am I where I ought to be
|
I’ve begun to soon descend
|
Like the sun into the sea
|
And I thank my lucky stars
|
From here to eternity
|
For the artist that you are
|
And the man you made of me
|
|
Pretty speeches still unspoken
|
Perfect circles in the sand
|
Rules and promises I’ve broken
|
That I still don’t understand
|
|
Soon or later I’ll be leaving
|
I’m a winner either way
|
For the laughter and the loving
|
That I’m living with today
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Wide awake and feeling mortal
