Discover the story of the song > Wake Me Up – Home Free

The lyrics are about a young person who is trying to navigate through life and discover who they are. They feel like they are in the dark, but they have a strong feeling in their heart that helps guide them. People tell them that they are too young to understand, but the protagonist is okay with that because they know that life will pass them by if they don't open their eyes. They hope to travel the world and experience everything before they get older. In the end, they realize that they were finding themselves all along, even though they didn't know they were lost. So, they ask to be woken up when their journey is over and they are wiser and older.
