Whatever We Have To Do To Wake Up High

about

I was commissioned to write a Hungarian language song for a film, so I wrote it first in English before translating, and recorded both. You can hear the Hungarian version here:

lyrics

We've had it tough. Some days are just too difficult.
Morning comes - we don't want to wake up. But what are we gonna do?

We step up - make our days great 'cause they are enough,
Keep going til we hit the ground rough, 'cause life is the life we choose.

We wanna be happy. Don't wanna cry no more.
It's about time to drop the weight and let it all fly.
It's about time to kick the hate and take to the sky. To the sky.

Everyday could be the last, don't give it away.
Or do, it's not for me to say. So what are you gonna do?
You're the one, the only one who can get it done.
Make time for work. Make time for fun. It's all you. It's all you.

Don't you wanna be happy? Don't you wanna cry, "NO MORE!"
It's about time to drop the weight and let it all fly.
It's about time to kick the hate and take to the sky. To the sky.

This is the life we choose - this is the life we choose.
And whether we choose it, it's the only life that we lose.
Whatever we have to do to wake up - wake up high - high.
Like the day after a heartache's over. It's about time!

It's about time to drop the weight and let it all fly.
It's about time to kick the hate and take to the sky. To the sky.
It's about time to drop the weight and let it all fly.
It's about time to kick the hate and take to the sky. To the sky.
To the sky....
