[English]

Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand

They say I'm caught up in a dream

Well, life will pass me by if I don't open my eyes

Well, that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time, I was finding myself, and I

Didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time, I was finding myself, and I

Didn't know I was lost

...

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life's a game made for everyone

And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time, I was finding myself, and I

Didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time, I was finding myself, and I

Didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

...
