Intro*
"When will it all end, when will we wake up"
*Verse 1*
"They offer us a hand and help us up
But with the other, they stab us in the back
We're prisoners in a system
When will we wake up?
They put chains on us
That we can't see, because they make it comfortable for us
Before they take everything from us
So, what's left for me?
If I don't have, I'll take
If I have, I'll give
Don't give me a sermon, turn around and walk away
Because you don't understand enough
It's not enough"
*Pre-Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the world
Crying, please wake me up" wake me Up
*Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the pain
Don't you see, the world is crying
It's time to break the chains
I rise up and throw the first stone
And scream: I'm free!"
*Verse 2*
"And the greatest crime
They make rules, that they break themselves
Or invent new ones
They have the power, so much suffering in the world
But most of them only think of themselves
Because they live in the here and now
Paradoxical world, where mothers die
With their children, just because bombs are raining
Children search for their parents under the rubble
Only to realize, how unfair this world is"
*Pre-Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the world
Crying, please wake me up" wake me Up
*Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the pain
Don't you see, the world is crying and screaming
It's time to break the chains
I rise up and throw the first stone
And scream: I'm free!"
*Verse 3*
"They lie to us and break their promises
I'm sick of it, too much suffering, they lie to us
And sell it to us as truth
That's why I don't trust, I'd rather be alone
Yes, alone, rather than being a puppet
I rise up and throw the first stone
And scream: I'm free!"
*Pre-Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the world
Crying, please wake me up" wake me Up
*Refrain*
"Wake me up, don't you see the pain
Don't you see, the world is crying and screaming
It's time to break the chains
I rise up and throw the first stone
And scream: I'm free!"
