Wide Awake - Waltari

Wide awake full of faith and destiny

Am i safe?

You’re away

The red wine makes me fall into sleep

I’m awake

I can’t sleep coz i’m worrying again

Wide awake

With passion i build up my world

Every day having espresso in a cafe

I ride

Where i ride i don’t really know

It’s inside

It’s inside but outside it’s also nice

I seek for adventures, to go very far

Further than distance, with my jaguar

Wish i could see myself

Wish i could pray for us today

The stories are for kids

But this is pure reality, just like you, just like me

An old lady sits in a corner

With some wisdom on her face

She has a long story to tell

An ugly life with full discrace… on her face

Wide awake

I know there’s always a way

Anyway

I need to see all the cards of fate

I sway

By the beauty of the shores of seine

I’m insane

It’s inside but outside it’s also nice

I always come back, and i always leave

Looking for something, wish i could be healed

Wish i could see myself

Wish i could pray for us today

The stories are for kids

But this is pure reality, just like you, just like me

An old lady sits in a corner

With some wisdom on her face

She has a long story to tell

An ugly life with full discrace… on her face

Wide awake

Let me stay…
