Have you ever woke up from a bad dream?
The one where it seems where you just can't get anywhere
And your legs won't work but your heart's pounding on like a drum
And you're livin' in a city where you just don't know anyone (anyone)
I see your face in an ocean of people
It's so nice to meet you, so save me from evil
Have you ever woke up from a bad dream? (Hey)
The one where it feels like you just can't let out a scream?
I've been holdin' on too long
Reachin' out for what is gone
Will I stand or will I fall?
Will I ever learn to fly?
Will I make it out alive?
Will I stand or will I fall?
Blood on the drums
Givin' it up, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on my drums
Givin' it up, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
Now, I'm lookin' in the rear view, a hundred and five
I don't see nobody wavin', screamin', "Bye, bye, bye"
Now I'm lookin' back on a hell of a night
Now I've woken from the dream and I'm feelin' alive
They say, "Slow down, give it up, give it up"
Don't you dare listen, never givin' it up
"Slow down, give it up, give it up"
Don't you dare listen, never givin' it up now
I've been holdin' on so long
Reachin' out for what is gone
Will I stand or will I fall?
Will I ever learn to fly?
Will I make it out alive?
Will I stand or will I fall?
Blood on the drums
Givin' it up, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on my drums
Givin' it up, all that I got
Blood on the drums
Blood on the drums
