Lyrics

WOULD YOU WAKE UP CHILDREN
CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT'S COMING
IT'S NOT THE FIRE OR THE FLOOD
WE ALL ARE STRANGERS WITHIN THIS BUILDING
AND WE COULD ALL USE SOME LOVE
SO WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM
OH WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
WOULD YOU WAKE UP CHILDREN
CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT'S COMING
IT'S NOT THE VIOLENCE OR THE BLOOD
OH I'M SO GRATEFUL, FOR THIS LIFE WE'RE LIVING
AND OUR CAPACITY FOR LOVE
SO WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM
OH WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
THESE ARE TRYIN' TIMES
BUT WE CAN'T BE BLIND
TO THE LEPER AND THE POOR
OR THE LIFE WE'RE GIVEN
THERE'S SO MUCH LIVING
AND WE CAN GIVE EACH OTHER MORE
SO WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S JUST A BAD DREAM
OH WAKE UP, PLEASE WAKE UP
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SEEMS
