Wake Up Children

People, won’t you listen
To the story I wanna tell
About this world we’re living in
I hope you listen well
We’re avoiding all the problems
And we’ve thrown away the truth
With brothers fighting brothers
The devils on the loose
We’ve lost the word humanity
Yes, in God we trust
The things we called invincible
Have now all turned to dust
Yeah, yeah
I see a world that’s hungry
A world that full of fears
Reaching out for happiness
For drowning in their tears
We’ve polluted all the waters
The food and, yes, the air
We’re killing our great mother earth
Does anybody care
Yeah, do you care
Ooh, yeah
Wake up, children, oh, yeah
Wake up, children
And what about the children
And the generations to come
Will they look back on our history
And curse the things we’ve done
All it takes is a decision
And it’s one we’ll have to make
To save our world and all mankind
I hope it’s not too late
Yeah, not too late
Wake up, children, ooh, yeah
Wake up, children
I wanna talk to you this evening, children
(Wake up, children)
I wanna tell you a story that you need to hear
(Wake up, children)
Yeah, brother to brother, can’t you hear me talking
(Wake up, children)
Sister to sister, can’t you hear me talking
(Wake up, children)
Nation to nation, can’t you hear me talking
(Wake up, children)
Yeah, we’ve got to love one another…
