Lyrics

You stum ble through your (Am)days,

got your (G)head hung low, your (Gm6)sky’s a shade of grey Like a zom bie in a (Am)maze,

you’re a (G)sleep in side, but (Gm)you can shake a wake ’Cause you’re just a dead man walk in’, think in’ that’s your on ly op tion But you can flick the switch and bright en up your dark est day Sun is up and the col or’s blind in’ Take a world and re de fine it Leave be hind your nar row mind You’ll nev er be the same Come a live,

come a live

Go and light your light Let it burn so bright Reach in’ up

to the sky,

and it’s o pen wide You’re e lec tri fied And the world be comes a fan ta sy, and you’re more than you could ev er be, ’cause you’re dream in’ with your eyes wide o pen

And you know you can’t go back a gain to the world that you were liv in’ in, ’cause you’re dream in’ with your eyes wide o pen

So come a live!

I see it in your (Am)eyes

You be (G)lieve that lie that you (Gm6)need to hide your face A fraid to step out (Am)side

so you (G)lock the door But (Gm)don’t you stay that way No more liv in’ in those shad ows You and me, we know how that goes ’Cause once you see it, oh, you’ll nev er, nev er be the same A lit tle bit of light nin’ strik in’, bot tled up to keep on shin in’ You can prove there’s more to you You (G)can not be a fraid Come a live, Come one, come all, come in, come on

To an y one who’s (E7)burst ing with a dream Come one, come all, you hear the call

To an y one who’s (E7)search in’ for a way to break (F)free

Break (G)free,

break (CN.C.)free

And the world be comes a fan ta sy, and you’re more than you could ev er be, ’cause you’re dream in’ with your eyes wide o pen

And we know we can’t go back a gain to the world that we were liv in’ in, ’cause we’re dream in’ with our eyes wide o pen

And the world be comes a fan ta sy, and you’re more than you could ev er be, ’cause you’re dream in’ with your eyes wide o pen

And we know we can’t go back a gain to the world that we were liv in’ in, ’cause we’re dream in’ with our eyes wide o pen

And the world pen

’Cause we’re dream in’ with our eyes wide o pen

So come a live!
