Wake up!!

Stop, take a look around

What is it that makes the world spin round?

What issues are on our minds?

When we observe, what are the signs?

Worrying about the score

Or latest stock to hit the floor

Hollywood’s latest pick

The gossip, and who is giving who stick

Is it the almighty dollar?

Globalization or jobs for the blue collar

That gets our attention today

Or perhaps have we lost our way?

Time to wake up, take a stand

Take stock of our lives and make a new plan

Put the important issues up there

Show those who need it we care

Sometimes I wonder, what we are thinking

We all stand by while masses are sinking

Into darkness and abyss

Man, something is really amiss!

Is it not criminal to stand by?

When hundreds of thousands today will die

How can we feast when there is famine

Our minds are focused on the mammon!

Could you give it all away?

Even lose your so called priorities for a day

Do the right thing for all

Listen, and answer the neediest’ call

Time to wake up, take a stand

Take stock of our lives and make a new plan

Put the important issues up there

Show those who need it we care
