Our Name Is Taken - Wake Up!

Wake up!
Come back to the real world
Stop listening to all of the fake news
Trying to influence your views
Distract you with all their shallow feuds
Devious plots there to take the peace away
Believing everything that those powers say
“Work your days away!”
“There is no time for play!”
“Live your life in fear since the world may end today!”
You just don't know who you can trust anymore
The rich are getting richer and the poor are still poor
Countries sailing missiles like golf
Yelling ”Fore!”
No regard for humanity they're cold down to the core
Don't you see
What's really going on here
Conditioned to live our lives in fear
We should be standing together
Banding together
Enduring the weather and we'll all become stronger than
Everybody wake up
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You know we don’t have to live this way
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
Let's take our lives in our hands today
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
We are equals one in the same
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You can stay at home and pray
Or you can get out there and be a part of the change
“Practice what you preach!”
Is what they always said in church
Birthing millions of hypocrites
Who linger then lurch in the background
Go into the world and search for new ways
To help each other grow and learn
Negativity!
The largest pandemic to be found
Social media steals your words and twirls them around
The fingers of those that mangle them and make them sound
Through the internet
Bringing the whole world down
All the outrageous finger pointing game only hurts
Not thinking before speaking and continuing to blurt out
Anything harmful
Causing others to be curt
Toward one another when they'd have
Normally given the shirt off their own back
What will get this through to the masses
Especially since
They no longer teach this in classes
And if you raise your voice?
Suddenly it's harassment!
What can we do to finally surpass this?!
Wake up! Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You know we don’t have to live this way
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
Let's take our lives in our hands today
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
We are equals one in the same
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You can stay at home and pray
Or you can get out there and be a part of the change
Today it's easy to go through the motions
Leave our hearts aside and not embrace our own emotions
Quit living under someone else's notion
We need to wake up from this dream and finally own it
Stand up for what's right be a part of the fight
And together
We will make it through this
Everybody wake up
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You know we don’t have to live this way
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
Let's take our lives in our hands today
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
We are equals one in the same
Everybody wake up!
Wake Up! (Wake up!)
You can stay at home and pray
Or you can get out there and be a part of the change
