Lyrics

One, two, three, four
Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live
Wake up and live now
Wake up and live (Wake up and live)
Life is one big road with lots of signs
So when you riding thru the ruts
Don't you complicate your mind
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts
Put your vision to reality, yeah!
All together now
Wake up and live, wake up and live
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and wake up and live, yeah
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and wake up and live
Rise ye mighty people, yeah
There is work to be done
So let's do it little by little
Rise from your sleepless slumber, yeah-yeah, yes, yes
We're more than sand on the seashore
We're more than number
All together now
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and live
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and live now
You see one, one cocoa full of basket
Already you see you live big today
Tomorrow you bury in a casket
One, one cocoa full of basket, yeah-yeah
Already you see, you live big today
Tomorrow you bury in a casket
What?
Together now
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and live, wake up and live
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and live, keep on playing
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Yeah-yeah
(Wake up and live now, wake up and live)
Break it down
Come on, man!
Life is one big road with lots of signs, yes
So when you riding thru the ruts
Don't you complicate your mind
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts
Put your vision to reality, yeah!
All together now
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
Wake up and live
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
(Wake up and live y'all, wake up and live)
