High Alert

I’m kicking me when I’m down
When I’m already on the ground
Seeing your form all around town
Wonderin’ if it’s you when they turn around

I'm on high alert , eyes wide open
I'm on high alert, saving my emotion
Oh, when I pass the corner
I’ll watch for the mistakes that I won’t make
I’m on high alert
I’m on high alert

Saw myself here some time ago
If I could warn me wish I could know
Can’t change the past
But I’ll make the future
Dear wiser me
Get wiser sooner

I'm on high alert , eyes wide open
I'm on high alert, saving my emotion
Oh, when I pass the corner
I’ll watch for the mistakes that I won’t make
I’m on high alert
I’m on high alert

Eyes wide open to a new day arising
Shedding the fear from the cast
Walking around without needing a reason
Blank slate ticket to pass
Goodbye at last

Can’t change the past
So I’ll make the future
Dear wiser me
Get wiser sooner
