Put out your own lights and the flames you’ll see
Or maybe free you’ll be
Guess it all depends on your version of what it all means
Or does it?
Are we talking about right or wrong
Talking about truth and lies
Do you believe or do you despise?

Wake up and rise

Live in your own paradise
You walk around blind
Blinders by your own hand
From what should you hide?
Deal with symptom not solution
Think that leads to absolution?

Wake up and rise

Give yourself permission
Freedoms not a mission it’s a choice
Can you take it?
If it comes with sacrifice will you make it?
Still listening or have you gone back to hiding?
Brushing pain off doesn’t make it go away
You should know this by now
So many these days act like they don’t know how
Are you gonna take the easy way and follow the crowd?
Misery loves company but is that the company you seek?
What a dark future so dim and bleak
Come on now

Wake up and rise
