Wake Up Dreaming

He sells office supplies, and his nametag and tie
Oh, they complete his secret identity
Unknowing citizens shop for ballpoint pens
To them he’s just the guy who rings them up
And he can’t shake the feeling
That this whole world’s asleep
He’s full of vision no one else can see
But soon he’ll make it real
'Cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming
On fifteen-minute breaks he fills his sketchbook page
With characters sworn to protect the earth
And they save humankind from evil masterminds
They’re his only hope in a sea of envelopes
And he can’t shake the feeling
That this whole world’s asleep
He’s full of vision no one else can see
But soon he’ll make it real
'Cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming
And he keeps sketching fire escapes and back doors
Knows there’s got to be more to his life
'Cause he can’t shake the feeling
That this whole world’s asleep
He’s full of vision no one else can see
But soon he’ll make it real
'Cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming
