Wake Up! Lyrics

Wake up, treasured man, you are young but your time has come

Wake up, cherished man, close your eyes and see the sun

Panto, Panto

Boricua born of black blood, you are so near

I was told you were gone many winters ago, and yet I hear your voice

As near and clear as the tear running down my heart

You ain't gone, no, you've just woken up, and now you're home

Wake up, treasured man, you are young but your time has come

Lie down, brother, wake up to Him

Wake up, cherished man, close your eyes and see the sun

Lie down, brother, wake up to Him

Mama, look at our faces and see how they resemble

Mama, mama, remember that up there, there ain't no trembles

Stand up, walk tall, walk strong, there's nothing you can't handle

And when we're missing you, we got plenty of candles

Wake up, treasured man, you are young but your time has come

Lie down, brother, wake up to Him

Wake up, cherished man, close your eyes and see the sun

Lie down, brother, wake up to Him

Treasured man, you live in me, in the hearts of your people

You are alive!

Wake up, brother, watch over your people

Cherished man, you are young but your time has come

Cherished man, you live in me, you are his new angel

You are alive!

Wake up, brother, remember your people

Wake up, treasured man, wake up, boy, and see the sun

Lie down, brother, wake up to Him

Wake up, brother, brother, brother, brother

You live on in your people

You live on in your people

Wake up, brother, brother, brother, brother

Wake up to Him!
