Lyrics:

For every hour
I spend alive
I'm counting the hours
Till I die
It's never enough
The time flies by...

Each minute screams to me
"...take the life you want to lead..."

And so I lie awake
Just to escape
Sleep's been making deals with Death
And he let's him creep
Around my bed
Tries to rob my life
(Night after --)
Night after night

Chorus
Hey! -- And it's all I see
Hey! -- Is a world asleep
Hey! -- And it's all I see
Hey! -- Is my world's asleep

Through this city's streets
I want to make'em see
"Sleep's been selling us out!
He's been selling you out!
These years of our youth
Are stolen right from out of our mouths"
(Gasp)

Chorus
Hey! -- And it's all I see
Hey! -- Is a world asleep
Hey! -- And it's all I see
Hey! -- Is my world's asleep

No we won't go
No we won't
Oh!

I'm done dreaming out loud
I want to live loud

I'm waking up
And I'm coming back
Sleep's been ebbing dreams
But I'm shaking back

Chorus
Hey! -- And it's all I see
Hey! -- And it's all I feel
Hey! -- Is a world unreal

Hey!
Is this world asleep?
Hey!
Cause Death's sneaking beneath
