[Verse 1: Josh Groban]
Wake up, wake up the sun cannot wait for long
Reach out, reach out before it fades away
You will find the warmth when you surrender
Smile into the fear and let it play
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can’t be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay cause it’s oh so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
Do the things that I don’t understand
A reason to be brave
[Verse 2: Josh Groban]
Hold on, hold on so strong
Time just carries on
All that you thought is wrong is pure again
You can’t hide forever from the thunder
Look into the storm and feel the rain
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can’t be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay cause it’s oh so close
When you stand up and hold down your pain
Do the things what I don’t understand
The reason to be brave
[Vocal Interlude: Josh Groban]
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
Go on, go on
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can’t be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay cause it’s oh so close
When you stand uṗ and hold down your pain
In the face of what I don’t understand
A reason to be brave
Wake up, wake up the sun cannot wait for long
Reach out, reach out before it fades away
You will find the warmth when you surrender
Smile into the fear and let it play
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can’t be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay cause it’s oh so close
When you stand up and hold out your hand
Do the things that I don’t understand
A reason to be brave
[Verse 2: Josh Groban]
Hold on, hold on so strong
Time just carries on
All that you thought is wrong is pure again
You can’t hide forever from the thunder
Look into the storm and feel the rain
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
You wanna run away, run away
And you say that it can’t be so
You wanna look away, look away
But you stay cause it’s oh so close
When you stand up and hold down your pain
Do the things what I don’t understand
The reason to be brave
[Vocal Interlude: Josh Groban]
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
O-oh-oh-oh-oh
