Sent  on a mission to find out
Just  how much shit one man can take
Went  to the river to swim upstream
But  got dragged into the lake

You're  wide  awake
 But still you're dreaming
 Of the pride it takes
 It has no meaning
Am I  still here
Can you see  me please  say yes
Can you heal  me please  say yes
When you watch  over me I  am blessed
 Now that you're all grown up
 You're not so self assured you'll never know
 Who do you answer to when
 No one's hanging round to let it show
 You're wide awake
 But still you're dreaming
 The pride it takes
 It has no meaning
 Am I still here
 Can you hear me please say yes
 Can you heal me please say yes
 When you watch over me I am blessed
 x4
 Key change from D to E.
You're  old enough to know better
Than  to expect anything
Take  care of yourself
You should know  not to depend on anyone
 Am I still here
 Can you feel me please say yes
 Can you heal me please say yes
 When you watch over me I am blessed
 Am I still here
 Can you see me please say yes
 Can you heal me please say yes
 When you watch over me I am blessed
