WAKE UP NOW

Each night, there was a light

Of hope and happiness that shone brightly

Now, it's gone dim

Sleeping in tears, weeping in fear

Walking under vigil, talking of own peril

On what shall we rely?

When God has not come to save

While he took the offerings we gave

And love is hard to be born

In such times when we are torn

Yet we must make a way to fight them

And give back the terror they have given

But how could it be done?

When we can't be one, on mother earth

When egos cannot gel and, for compassion

There is a dearth

Wake up now for you may not live next moment

In vain shall go, the hardships you underwent

And the time spent to realize your dreams

They would turn to nothing but screams

So get up, my sisters and brothers

Stand as one and leave other bothers

To live and to fight those who feel

Its right to take our lives

So get up and light the light

That shone brightly in the night

So get up to run free again  

And have fun under the sun
