Wake Up the People
Wake up, everyone!
Don’t you know?
Till the ground for harvest
Disrupting the unfruitful flow
It’s just how it is
That’s not an excuse
To let people settle
For this apathetic chain of abuse
Stifling change for comfort
Indulging in self-oppression
No one even cares
Saddening me like depression
Planting a good crop
Starts with breaking dry ground
Before growth can begin
The old life can’t be around
Step out, all you people!
Get out of your comfort zone
Live your life now
This song needs a different tone
We are desperate for revival
Hide that Sunday smile
Let’s live what we preach
It might take us a while
We want to move the world
But it starts with a pile of dirt
It’s about time
We help out those who hurt
We try to change a nation
Thinking we know what’s good
But it starts with one person
Not the whole neighborhood
A loud voice may ring
But it takes someone to hear
To listen and react
Before anyone will shed a tear
So come one people
Practice what you preach
After all
Isn’t that what we teach?
Wake up people
Just because it feels right
Doesn’t mean
Truth will go down without a fight
What’s wrong is now okay
Oh, can’t you see?
We’ve compromised the truth
And that’s not okay with me
