Wake Up Now

WAKE UP NOW

(Female Folk-Rock Anthem)

Intro

(Banjo & stomp beat)

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

The screens are glowing through the night,

Selling fear and selling lies.

Every headline, every fight,

Pulling wool across our eyes.

Verse 1

They tell us who to hate today,

Tell us what we’re meant to see.

Feed us anger, feed us blame,

While they steal our unity.

Brothers arguing with brothers,

Neighbors turning into foes.

While the ones who light the matches

Stand behind their velvet thrones.

Pre-Chorus

But the cracks are getting wider,

And the truth shines through the wall.

People hear a different calling,

And they’re rising from the fog.

Chorus

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

Open your eyes,

Open your soul,

We’re more than numbers,

We’re not under control.

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

The chains are breaking somehow,

The world is listening now.

Verse 2

Children scrolling endless stories,

Lives reduced to moving screens.

Trading sunsets for reflections,

Trading hearts for algorithms’ dreams.

But around the fires people gather,

Talking face to face again.

Finding something long forgotten,

Finding family among friends.

Pre-Chorus

There’s a whisper in the valleys,

There’s a thunder in the streets.

People learning once again

That human hearts were made to meet.

Chorus

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

Open your eyes,

Open your soul,

We’re more than numbers,

We’re not under control.

Bridge

No politician owns tomorrow,

No flag is worth a mother’s tears.

No child was born to die in battles

Started by the powerful and feared.

This ain’t our war.

This ain’t our hate.

This is one human family

Across every border and every state.

Breakdown

(Banjo only, three female voices harmonizing)

One sky…

One earth…

One family…

One sky…

One earth…

One family…

Final Chorus

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

Raise your voice,

Stand somehow,

The truth is coming out right now.

WAKE UP NOW!

(Wake up now!)

Together somehow…

Outro

(Three voices a cappella)

One sky…

One earth…

One family…

One sky…

One earth…

One family…
