Verse The past is not my friend he says he?s got it in for me
He stopped me long ago from being who I wanna be
I?ve struggled for so long by doing what the others said
So I?ll just live my life but first I?m gonna rest my head
So wake me up and let me know when the past has let me go
So I can be the man I wanna be
And I know it might take time but I know somewhere down the line
They?re gonna see the good in me
Verse All the crazy money had been bet that I?d succeed
But it?s hard to beat the odds when you are up against your greed
All the crazy faces wrote me off some time ago
Except the crazy people that I?ve tried hard not to know
So wake me up and let me know when the past has let me go
So I can be the man I wanna be
And I know it might take time but I know somewhere down the line
They?re gonna see the good in me
Bridge They all point the finger and they all laugh at me
While sitting on their fortune of fools gold
So unaware of what is seen by the likes of me
I?m going to make sure that they?re told
So wake me up and let me know when the past has let me go
So I can be the man I wanna be
And I know it might take time but I know somewhere down the line
They?re gonna see the good in me
So wake me up and let me know when the past has let me go
I?ll be the man they?d said I?d never be
So stop me sleeping when it?s time to wake these dreams of mine
