Story Behind The Song
A loved one has died. They have been through many things together and now the emptiness of death settles in. The one who remains wants to wake up from this bad dream or have the dead person wake up and not be dead. Death is final. There is no returning to what was once before. The love that was, is now gone forever.
Song Description
Death cannot be changed. Time does not go back or wait for anyone. Let me wake up from this bad dream or you wake up and not to be dead. There is emptiness, loneliness in death. The grief causes unrealistic perspectives and a denial of the truth and a hope for things to be different.

Lyrics
The deadness of fall
is in the air
This withered, decayed life
leaves limbs so bare
I keep falling
If only I dare...Wake Up
Empty barren hush
Long cold touch
The desperate desire
to change so very much
Turn back time
stop the clock...
Wake Up
Wake Up
Won't you wake up
Remember what you promised me
You must wake up
I can't call you back from
eternity...please
I wish I could feel your arms surround me
I miss the warm touch of your body so near me
So much to share
We've grown tremendously
Wake Up
I feel your presence
Drifting deeply away
No words can pursuade
Your fate this very day
Approaching too quickly
White shade fades to grey
Wake Up...Wake Up
Won't you wake up
Remember what you promised me
You must wake up
I can't call you back from
eternity...please
Wake Up
Won't you please Wake Up... Wake Up
Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up...
Wake up remember what you promised me
You must wake up
I can't call you back from
eternity...please
Wake Up
You must wake Up
Wake Up
Wake Up...
Wake up...
Wake up.
