I may appear to be lost
And this state I'm in
Could be confused with failure
Could be confused with failure
But the truth is I'm not
I'm just biding time
Till I can unveil my brilliance
I can unveil my brilliance
And I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
Well, I'll make my mother proud
Well, I'll make my mother proud
You know the avant-garde
You know they've always been
Wrought with tribulations
Trials and tribulations
Just like Vincent Van Gogh
You know they'll never know
My true ability
While there's breath still in my body
And I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
Well, I'll make my mother proud
Well, I'll make my mother proud
And I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
I'm waking up, waking up
To another age
Well, I'll make my mother proud
Well, I'll make my mother proud
