Melissa Ethridge's "I Need to Wake Up"

Melissa Ethridge sung "I Need to Wake Up," from the film "An Inconvenient Truth" tonight during the Oscars. Then Leo DiCaprio and Al Gore came up to present an award. Be still my beating heart! I LOVE AL GORE! Here are the lyrics: Have I been sleeping? I’ve been so still Afraid of crumbling Have I been careless? Dismissing all the distant rumblings Take me where I am supposed to be To comprehend the things that I can’t see Cause I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now And as a child I danced like it was 1999 My dreams were wild The promise of this new world Would be mine Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth To listen to an inconvenient truth That I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now I am not an island I am not alone I am my intentions Trapped here in this flesh and bone And I need to move I need to wake up I need to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now I want to change I need to shake up I need to speak out Oh, Something’s got to break up I’ve been asleep And I need to wake up Now
