[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
The sun came up, the world began to shake
Fault lines exposing all my old mistakes
If I could do anything
Then this wouldn't be happening
It’s been a long time
Since I’ve felt courageous
[Chorus 1: Miller & Adam Gardner]
Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Walking in my sleep never to awaken
Be love, be love, be love, be love
Look alive
[Verse 2: Ryan Miller, Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner]

Walking in my sleep never to awaken
Be love, be love, be love, be love
Look alive
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Dancing in the dark with old hallucinations
Be love, be love, be love, be love
Look alive

Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up
Walking in my sleep never to awaken
Be love, be love, be love, be love
Look alive
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Dancing in the dark with old hallucinations
Be love, be love, be love, be love
Look alive
