Awake

AWAKE

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

MAY 2018

DON'T EVEN ASK ME I'M NOT SURE

IF LOVE CAN TRIUMPH OVER EVIL

I JUST THINK IT CAN

I BELIEVE IT WILL 

BUT IT TAKES PRECIOUS TIME

AND PRECIOUS FEW ARE FIT

TO LEAD MAN

ARE YOU LED OR 

DO YOU UNDERSTAND 

ARE YOU AWAKE OR DO YOU

SLEEP RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE

THAT LIVE FOR LUST

CONTROL AND GREED

KNOW NOTHING OF

 COMPASSION, PEACE, OR LOVE 

UNMASK THEM ALL SO WE CAN SEE

ITS NOT A FANTASY

ITS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE

FIRST THEY'LL FALL

ONE BY ONE

AND THE WALLS WILL CRUMBLE

BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE 

WILL YOU BE WOKEN UP

 ENOUGH BY THEN 

SO THAT YOU CAN SEE

HOW FAR FROM THE WAY

THINGS SHOULD BE

WE'VE ALL BEEN LED

WILL YOU FEEL THE LOVE YOU MISSED

WILL YOU HELP SHAPE

A UTOPIAN EXISTENCE 

ON A FOUNDATION OF LOVE

SOMETHING INSIDE 

TO BELIEVE WE CAN IF WE WANT TO

IN THE END

LOVE ALWAYS WINS

WE JUST HAVE TO GET THERE AGAIN

ITS TIME, TIME TO TAKE THE LEAD

SLAY THE DRAGONS THAT YOU FEED

NEVER GIVING BACK

TURNING AWAY FROM PEOPLES NEEDS

ALL FOR THE SAKE OF GREED

WHO WILL STAND UP AGAINST IT

OR JUST WALK AWAY

GO BACK TO SLEEP

JUST OUT OF REACH

WE DON'T NEED YOU ANYWAY

THERE'S ENOUGH OF US

 TO HAVE OUR SAY

THEY KNOW WE ARE COMING

SO THEY WOULD ASK THAT WE DISARM

BY FORCE IF NOT BY CHARM

DON'T FALL FOR IT ANOTHER MINUTE

TO BE SUBMISSIVE

WOULD BE INVITATION TO DOOM
