I'm Wakin' Up Lyrics

I'm wakin' up, I'm wakin' up, I'm wakin' up from my American Dream woa-oh-oh-oh

I had a dream that came to me in the light of the morning, I was afraid when it began

Something had changed and the world was suddenly shrinking 'til it fit inside my hand

Open your eyes, I could heard a voice calling out to me

Can you see it now! Look at the insanity

A shadow of chaos and greed threatens humanity

Get out of bed, you've got to wake up, wake up, wake up

And I'm wakin' up, I'm waking up, I'm waking up from my American Dream woa-oh

I'm wakin' up, I'm shaken up. I'm waking up from my American Dream

Now I'm lookin' at the world, lookin' at the world, from the other side

From the other side, I see the past and future, past and the future, soon will collide

And there's too many suffering, too many suffering, from a long, long ago day

The tech-no-logic age has come to shake the ground and take the past away

I'm wakin' up, I'm wakin' up, I'm wakin' up from my American Dream woa-oh-oh

Arrogant fools that have no rules they try to deceive you

They have no conscience and no shame, no conscience and no shame

To those whom nothing is sacred, nothing is profane

So good and evil is all the same; good and evil mm-hmm

And they told us we were livin, told us we were livin

In a melting pot, in a melting pot; where we all blend together

All blend together, and the colors are forgot

Now they try to divide us, try to divide us by the color of our skin

Without justice or religion, without love and without vision

In this nation we live in, we live in, we live

The time has come to know the truth and defeat the illusion

It's a battle we must face; defeat the illusion

Power in the hands of the few is causing anger and confusion

That will destroy the human race; anger and confusion

Don't be naive and believe the lies about global democracy

It's a sham and it's a fake. Don't let them steal your liberty

Your sovereignty; your individuality is what makes you free

We need an honest conversation with an open mind

Stop the lies and accusations and let's see what we find

Truth and creativity can set us free, to shine a light on twisted ideology

So just let us be; let us speak

The old dream is dead but a new dream is beginning

Let's make today a better day; today a better day

Keep the faith and let's reach out to our brothers and sisters

Give from your heart and stay awake

Don't let them steal your morality, morality, your democracy, democracy

Love and humility will set us free; so just let it be

I'm wakin' up; I'm wakin' up

Don't let them steal your dignity

I'm wakin' up from my American Dream

Your autonomy; woa-oh-oh

I'm wakin' up — I'm shaken up

I'm wakin' up from my American Dream

So just let us be, woa-oh-oh-oh I'm wakin' up
