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… |
