Wake Up

from Home Grown by Wayne Maureau

lyrics

Wake Up, to what’s going on
Wake Up, there’s something wrong
Wake Up, stop looking the other way
Wake Up, open your eyes
Wake Up, gonna have to try
Wake Up, time to make a better day

Living the dream got the world by the ass
Never thought once that it wouldn’t last
So busy enjoying everything I see
This carefree life will get the best of me
I followed the rules just like I should
Just doing what I want instead of doing good
Gotta whole half a life still left to live
Need to stop taking more than I can give

Wake Up, to what’s going on
Wake Up, there’s something wrong
Wake Up, stop looking the other way
Wake Up, open your eyes
Wake Up, gonna have to try
Wake Up, time to make a better day

A troubled soul feeling all alone
Looking for answers to questions unknown
Down in the dumps more every day
Gotta get it together and find my way
Need to reach out and shake a hand
Lift my voice and take a stand
Open the window and breathe fresh air
Not sure where to go but I gotta get there

Wake Up, to what’s going on
Wake Up, there’s something wrong
Wake Up, stop looking the other way
Wake Up, open your eyes
Wake Up, gonna have to try
Wake Up, time to make a better day
