Lyrics
Wake up my friends
Call to awareness, urging friends to wake up.
Don't you see what is happening
Highlighting the need to recognize ongoing events.
To all of the
Reference to the suffering experienced by people.
People that are suffering?
Expressing concern for those undergoing hardship.
Well do you see it now?
Reiterating the importance of recognizing the situation.
And if we don't change
Warning about the consequences if no change occurs.
We're all going down
Emphasizing the collective impact of not changing.
If we don't do anything
Highlighting the necessity of taking action.
God help us now
Invocation for divine assistance in the face of inaction.
People turn their backs
Observation of people ignoring those in need.
To those in need
Describing a turning away from those requiring help.
For no reason but
Stating that this neglect is driven by selfish greed.
Oh their selfish greed
Emphasizing the selfish motivations behind the neglect.
Well do you see it now?
Reiterating the importance of recognizing this behavior.
If you think the world's alright
Challenging the perception that the world is fine.
Take a look inside yourself
Encouraging introspection to discover personal faults.
See what you might find
Inviting self-reflection to uncover hidden flaws.
Try to see the future
Advising to consider the future from a child's perspective.
Through your children's eyes
Encouraging empathy and understanding through children's eyes.
