Mabey, Stephanie - Wake Up Dreaming Lyrics






He sells office supplies in his name tag and tie
Oh, they complete his secret identity
Unknowing citizens shop for ballpoint pens
To them he's just the guy who rings them up

And he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming

On fifteen minute breaks, he fills his sketchbook page with
Characters sworn to protect the earth
And they save human kind from evil masterminds
They're his only hope in a sea of envelopes

And he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming

And he keeps sketching fire escapes and back doors
Knows there's got to be more to his life

'Cause he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming

  1. e.... ....

    Brought here by kwame rigii, wow then this song ..

  2. S.... ....

    Been listening since 2011 and it's still wild to me that one of my favorite songs has so little attention. Whenever I need hope, I sing this in my car.

  3. B.... B....

    You’re so talented eeeeeeeee 💗

    Can you post the piano chords pleasseee

  4. �.... ....

    그냥노래가너무좋다...

  5. t.... ....

    Saw your name in a magazine for a pizza place gotta say 10/10 less douchy then I thought.

  6. J.... S....

    You’re so amazing

  7. t.... p....

    REALLY BEAUTIFUL VOICE! ♥♥♥

  8. E.... M....

    I love your voice and the video editing!

  9. a.... \....

    💙💙

  10. a.... w....

    epic singing voice. she should try and get on the x-factor she should become famous :P she's that good

  11. J.... M....

    How is it that I just saw this video! beautiful talent! You are the best!

  12. J.... C....

    You have a gift! You combine notes that have a minor, somber tone yet the lyrics are so positive and uplifting! It feels like real life...struggling to maintain a vision as we face rough spots. I love the lasting impact your songs have on my thoughts and feelings!

  13. A.... A....

    I just listened to this like five times in a row. Amazing talent! Thanks for this!

  14. l.... ....

    I am so amazingly in love with your lyrics and your dulcet voice singing those lyrics. There's not a day my kids and I go for a drive that we are not listening to you in the process. You're truly my favorite artist...not ONE of my favorites, but my absolute favorite. Please continue sharing your music with those of us lucky enough to know of you. (I share on my social media hoping others I know will adore you, too, so fingers crossed)

    l.... ....

    I completely just fangirled all over the place! I did, really, it was rather embarrassing. I wasn't exaggerating when I said you are absolutely my favorite. My 17 year old daughter introduced me to you via The Zombie Song, and that was pretty much it. I'm sitting here doing schoolwork (returning for Master's), and you play in the background to keep me from losing my cool. I sound like my 17 year old daughter now. But really, you're amazing. I'll shut up now.

    l.... ....

    @*****
    I'm just going to say thank you, and you're welcome, and try to retain my adulthood in some form. I am a dignified adult. I am a dignified adult. I am a dignified adult ;)

    Truly looking forward to new music from you. I'll soak it up, too.

  15. P.... J....

    Love it!  Great talent!

  16. A.... T....

    Story of my life. lol.

  17. G.... C....

  18. t.... ....

  19. R.... D....

    Come back 2 years later and this song is still perfection :)

  20. G.... B....

    Beautiful song, very very talented Steph.

  21. J.... H....

    Awshum I love it

  22. h.... ....

    So, I saw this about a year and a half ago but then completely forgot about it. I woke up from an amazing dream yesterday morning with this song stuck in my head, I only knew the 'Wake up dreaming' parts of this song,so I searched those three little words and fell back in love with your amazing music. Thank You, Stephanie!

  23. L.... S....

    Your vioce is amazing and unique. I have never found anouther singer who beats your work in music. Keep up the great job. I would to see were this leads you. :D

  24. T.... ....

    My friend and I were hangin' out, and for something interesting to do she and I watched a bunch of YouTube videos, sharing stuff we've seen that the other had not.

    She showed me your Zombie song, and I decided to look at some other stuff of yours. I have reached the conclusion that I shall subscribe for these reasons:

    -You have a very pretty voice. :) It reminds me of, and yet is still distinct from, Regina Spektor.
    -You seem like a nice person. ^_^
    -I would love to see what happens next. :D

  25. B.... P....

    ((Slow clap)) That was... wow.

  26. R.... D....

    You have such a unique voice; it's amazing!

  27. m.... d....

    a coworker of mine told me to listen to this song. and i see why he did now. it sounds exactly like me...

  28. D.... ....

    Beautiful song, beautiful voice by a beautiful young lady! I enjoyed this version just as much as the other one on your website. I would suggest you include this one along with the others there. Keep up the good work!

  29. L.... C....

    i don't quite get this one but i like the tune

  30. M.... ....

    Just an incredible vid and a great song.

  31. L.... i....

    this must have took a long time to make. Having all those videos in tune with each other and the timing must have been awful to deal with. Awesome job! :D

  40. F.... ....

    You are an amazing singer and songwriter! You should definitely have more views for your songs. I'm taking a theater class and I plan to sing this song to my class mates. If I do well, I might have a solo spot in our Scene Night! Keep up the good work Stephanie, I believe in you~

  41. T.... C....

    Oh man, discovered you like a week ago, and just learned about your public funded album. I was about to donate to the cause when I realized it was all funded and then some! haha, I guess a pre-order will do. I'm super digging your sound, and am glad that it has gotten you the funding and attention it deserves!

  42. T.... S....
