[Verse 1]
F C Bb
I got wounded in the dream, but I took it like a soldier
F C Bb
I lost my heart in the dream, but at least I got older
F C Bb
I saw my baby in the dream, but I never got to hold her
Dm F C Bb F C Bb
Wakin' up today, wakin' up today
[Verse 2]
F C Bb
I got frightened in my dream, I guess from lookin' up at Jesus
F C Bb
I couldn't believe it in the dream, just how far they'd go to please us
F C Bb
And I wonder what He's lookin' at each and every time He sees us
Dm F
Wakin' up today, wakin' up today
[Chorus]
Bb F
It's too late now to run back for the darkness
Bb Dm
It's too late now, the night's gone
Bb F
Too late now 'cause you're off on your journey
Dm G
But you can't go on, oh it's so hard to go on...
[Verse 3]
F C Bb
But you'll be dyin' in the dream, if you never try for livin'
F C Bb
The only commandment in the dream is that you have to learn forgivin'
F C Bb
Cause' the dyin' is the easy part, but the dyin' greets the livin'
Dm F
Wakin' up today, wakin' up today
