In my garden of eden on earth
Where nobody questions your worth
And your love is always returned
You can throw away your disguise
And that desperate look in your eyes
Cause the miracle of life returns
Why should I wake up?
This dream of mine is mighty fine
Why should I wake up?
I'd rather feel like this is real
Where the flowers are always in bloom
And the night time air is perfumed
And your free to find the time for life
Where the children can play in the streets
And they're safe to believe in their dreams
And they're cherished like the treasure they are
Why should I wake up?
This dream of mine is mighty fine
Why should I wake up?
I'd rather feel like this is real
When you finally understand
What makes a woman, what makes a man
And your universe unfolds in your hands... in your hands
I hit the snooze button every time
I see a hint of morning light
I'll stay in bed because I realize
Why should I wake up... why?
Why should I wake up... why?
Why should I wake up?
This dream of mine is mighty fine
Why should I wake up?
I'd rather feel like this is real... so real... so real
I'd rather feel like this is real
