I can see the one I love
slowly start to slip away
And still somehow he finds the courage
to bless the gift of each new day
So I will hold a candle and I will watch and pray.
And I swear I'm gonna live this moment wide awake.

I want to give away my heart
if only just to watch it break
To feel the warmth of every touch,
to know the pain of every ache.
And find the strength to hold on to every choice I make
And I know I've got to live this moment wide awake.

Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I've got to believe, oh I believe God doesn't make mistakes
I am wide awake.

I don't want to close my eyes
and miss the chance to see you smile
And I will not go to sleep
if we can walk just one more mile
I will not let the darkness steal my faith away
So I know I've got to live this moment wide awake.

Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I've got to believe, oh I believe God doesn't make mistakes
I am wide awake.

Take some love from every breath
If I could squeeze a little hope when there is nothing left
Until all these dreams and battles are laid to rest.
Could be famine or a feast
Could be an angel or a beast
Oh, I will not be afraid
I want to stay wide awake.

Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I am wide awake.
