And I, I was up past the dawn

Spots of twilight gone

I been held by the wounds that speak

That speak with bitter tongue

Things eclipsing all the time

For better and worse alike

I always learn the hard way

An instinct to be true

An instinct to be true

And I'm gonna tell this world

The only difference now is that I'm vigilant

And I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And I, I was walkin' on a fire

Coals beneath my feet

The smoke has risen up

And nearly suffocated me

Things eclipsing all the time

For better and worse alike

I always learn the hard way

An instinct to be true

An instinct to be true

And I'm gonna tell this world

The only difference now is that I'm vigilant

And I'm gonna spread my wings

'Cause I am vigilant, not gonna take no shit

And oh, and everywhere I go

Takin' with that same new feeling with me now

It get me through my ups and downs

And everywhere I go

Takin' with that same new feeling with me now

It get me through my ups and downs

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake
