(Pre-Chorus – breathy, raspy whisper with a smile)  
Now the night is hummin’ softly, but the woods won’t go to bed,  
They’re throwin’ one big woodland bash with stars above their heads.

(Chorus – super catchy, bright hiccupy runs)  
The forest is awake, awake, awake!  
Twirlin’ in the moonlight, makin’ all the shadows shake.  
Hey-hey, little dreamer, listen to the silly song,  
The trees are singin’ lullabies but they’re singin’ ‘em all wrong.  
La-la-la, the creatures play, they giggle through the night,  
The forest is awake tonight… and everything’s all right!

(Verse 2 – witty and tender, full of childlike wonder)  
The squirrels are tellin’ secrets that they stole from sleepy bees,  
The owls are wearin’ spectacles and readin’ bedtime leaves.  
A tiny spotted fawn is teachin’ shadows how to dance,  
While the mushrooms hold a meeting in their glowin’ mushroom pants.  
If the wind gets too excited and it howls a little loud,  
The forest just starts laughin’ till it scares away the clouds.

(Pre-Chorus – raspy and warm, building gently)  
The river’s hummin’ bedtime tunes but it can’t stop its flow,  
‘Cause the forest is too busy puttin’ on a midnight show.

(Chorus – even catchier, with playful ad-libs)  
The forest is awake, awake, awake!  
Twirlin’ in the moonlight, makin’ all the shadows shake.  
Hey-hey, little dreamer, listen to the silly song,  
The trees are singin’ lullabies but they’re singin’ ‘em all wrong.  
La-la-la, the creatures play, they giggle through the night,  
The forest is awake tonight… and everything’s all right!  
(La-la-la, awake tonight…)

(Bridge – softer, almost spoken-sung with signature raspy warmth)  
When the world feels dark and quiet and you’re feelin’ small,  
The forest keeps its magic burnin’ soft against the wall.  
It’s got hugs like velvet moss and kisses made of dew,  
Remindin’ every sleepy heart that dreams can still come true.

(Final Chorus – bright and fading gently, with ad-lib “awake, awake”)  
The forest is awake, awake, awake!  
Twirlin’ in the moonlight just for you, for goodness’ sake.  
Hey-hey, little dreamer, close your eyes and float along,  
The forest sings its silly song till the break of dawn.  
La-la-la, the creatures play, they’ll watch you through the night,  
The forest is awake tonight… sweet dreams, my love, goodnight.

(Verse 1 – bouncy and cheeky, with a playful rasp) The forest is awake tonight, the trees are telling jokes, Whisperin’ to the hedgehogs who are wearin’ mossy cloaks. A badger’s doin’ cartwheels underneath the silver moon, While the rabbits throw a party with the fireflies’ tune. The old oak tree is laughin’, shakin’ leaves like confetti rain, And the foxes are all dancin’ in a cheeky daisy chain. (Pre-Chorus – breathy, raspy whisper with a smile) Now the night is hummin’ softly, but the woods won’t go to bed, They’re throwin’ one big woodland bash with stars above their heads.
