You take a trip down memory lane Back in the childhood days When everyday was an innocent game And life a fairy tale You're a 21st century girl And hope is all you've got Place your bets on happy endings You know you're dreaming Just pretending you're not You hide away in colourful dreams From the dark of night Sick of man, sick of extremes And the world outside You face the day with false illusions Made up dreams and blind confusion Step into it Open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty You still fantasize Wake up to the real world What's it like in the world where you are In your secret place Do you feel love healing your scars Do you feel embraced There your mind is free to wander Where no one's gonna steal your thunder Step into it Open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty You still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music, don't you realize You're living in the real world Sleeping beauty Out of your disguise Wake up to the real world Living in a strange reality You only see what you wish to see Step into it Open up your eyes Wake up to the real world Sleeping beauty You still fantasize Wake up to the real world Face the music, don't you realize You're living in the real world Sleeping beauty Out of your disguise Wake up to the real world Wake up to the real world Wake up to the real world Wake up to the real world
