Bill Medley - Rude Awakening

Hmmm, hmm mmm

Try to catch the moon, try to count the stars
Try to run as fast as I can in my darkest hours
I've heard a lot of laughter, I've seen a lot of pain
Welcome to the changes, baby—welcome to the new world

I said what, what have they done?
Where, where have they gone?
Why, why have they changed?
In the concrete jungle I open my eyes
To a rude awakening
To a rude awakening

Holding on to memories, holding on to time
Holding on to what we have and don't let it slip away
I feel the night break, I see your wounded eyes
Welcome to the changes, baby—welcome to the real world

I said what, what have they done?
Where, where have they gone?
Oh why, why have they changed?
In the concrete jungle I open my eyes
To a rude awakening
To a rude awakening

Everything has changed but the tears are the same
And the streets are crying in vain
Think about the time, think about the years
Think about what we've lost but can have again....

After the storm, will you still be by my side?
After the fire, will you still see the pyre?
Out of the ashes this time
This time I'll get it right—we're gonna get it right

What—what have they done?
Whoa, where—where have they gone?
I wanna know why—why have the changed?
In a concrete jungle I open my eyes
To a rude awakening

What—what have they done?
Oooh, and where—where have they gone?
I wanna know why—why have they changed?
In the concrete jungle I open my eyes
To a rude awakening…
To a rude awakening…
To a rude awakening…
I open my eyes…
I open my eyes…
I open my eyes....
