Wake Me Up (The Voice Performance) - Silje Titlestad

Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination And I realized quickly when I knew I should That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man For whatever that means And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? Ooh, ooh ooh And I try, oh my god do I try I try all the time, in this institution And I pray, oh my god do I pray I pray every single day For a revolution And so I cry sometimes When I'm lying in bed Just to get it all out What's in my head And I am feeling a little peculiar And so I wake in the morning And I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream at the top of my lungs What's going on? And I say, hey hey hey hey I said hey, what's going on? Twenty-five years and my life is still Trying to get up that great big hill of hope For a destination

You only stay with me in the morning You only hold me when I sleep I was meant to tread the water But now I' ve gotten in too deep For every piece of me that wants you baby Another piece backs away You Give Me Something That makes me scared, alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try. Please give me something Because someday I might know my heart. You only waited up for hours Just to spend a little time alone with me I can say you never bought me flowers Because you can't work out what they mean I never thought that I'd love someone That was someone else's dream You Give Me Something That makes me scared, alright. This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try. Please give me something Because someday I might know my heart But it might be a second too late And the words that I could never say Are gonna come out anyway You Give Me Something That makes me scared, alright This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try Please give me something You Give Me Something This could be nothing But I'm willing to give it a try. Because someday I might know my heart. Know my heart Know my heart Know my heart Know my heart Know my heart Know my heart

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline It had been a long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention She was going way too fast Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She saw both their lives flash before her eyes She didn't even have time to cry She was so scared She threw her hands up in the air Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I cannot do this on my own I am letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I am on Jesus take the wheel It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder And the car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock So from now on tonight Jesus take the wheel I am letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I am on Jesus take the wheel
