[INTRO]
C Gm   Bb  F 

[VERSE 1]
        C                Gm                Bb            F
I had a dream that I was walking, middle a nowhere on my own 
         C                Gm             Bb                  F
I didn't care where I was goin’, I never knew a place called home 
           C            Gm                 Bb            F
Out in the desert I was waiting, I’d never wandered here before 
             C                   Gm                  Bb           F
There in the silence I heard you say it, went from a whisper to a roar 
         C    Gm   Bb   F           C    Gm   Bb   F
You said rise up,          You said rise up 

[CHORUS 1]
C                   Gm
I didn’t know I was sleeping 
    Bb                  F
And I didn’t know I was lost 
C                    Gm
You put the skeleton key in 
    Bb                    F
And opened the door to my heart 
          C    Gm  Bb  F           C    Gm   Bb   F 
I’m wide awake,          I’m wide awake 

[VERSE 2]
        C                  Gm                 Bb               F
You overwhelmed me like an ocean, You took my hand just like a child 
            C                  Gm               Bb              F
There’s not one thing I did to earn it, but you gave me back my life 
         C    Gm   Bb   F           C    Gm   Bb   F
You said rise up,          You said rise up

[CHORUS 1]

[BRIDGE]
C               Gm/C              Bb/C
Wake up all you sleepers, walk in freedom 
        F/C
Feel it in your bones 
C               Gm/C              Bb/C
Wake up all you sleepers, walk in freedom 
        F/C         
Let him lead us home

[TURN]
C   Gm  Bb  N.C. 

[CHORUS 2]
C                   Gm
I didn’t know I was sleeping 
    Bb                  F
And I didn’t know I was lost 
C                    Gm
You put the skeleton key in 
    Bb                    F
And opened the door to my heart 
          C    Gm  Bb  F           C    Gm   Bb   F 
I’m wide awake,          I’m wide awake
               C
I’m wide awake
