Capital Cities

(One, two, three, ow!)

Wake up, wake up
Show me your eyes
You slept through the morning
Now it's time to rise, to rise
Wake up, wake up
Show me your heart
Your life's just a moment
Now it's time to start, to start

Cross the river, jump the fire
We are walking on a tight-rope wire
Think deeper, climb higher
Even you could be the new town crier

Wake up, wake up
Show me your face
You slept through the night
You're gonna miss the race
Wake up, wake up
This is the time
To leave all your worries
And excuses behind

Cross the river, jump the fire
We are walking on a tight-rope wire
Think deeper, climb higher
Even you could be the new town crier

New town crier

Cross the river, jump the fire
We are walking on a tight-rope wire
Think deeper, climb higher
Even you could be the new town crier

Crier, new town crier
Crier
Two, three go!
New town crier
Crier, new town crier
Crier, new town crier
