SLEEPING WIDE AWAKE
There are no excuses anymore
You know the things that hide behind the door
With our shadows longer on the ground
It’s a sign that the sun is going down
The sun is going down
You can stop and turn and look away
And your future is the price that we will pay
Like a stone thrown into a lake
It’s not the splash it’s the toll from the wake
That radiates
And when it all comes down
If you will not change your mind
Then your conscience will be blind
There is so much now at stake
You are sleeping wide awake
I can’t believe that you would even ask
I know you see the things behind the mask
And here we are so much hostility
I grit my teeth at our reality
And don’t you look at me
And when it all comes down
If you will not change your mind
Then your conscience will be blind
There is so much now at stake
You are sleeping wide awake
You can’t unsee the things that you have seen
Yet you believe the things that you believe
It feels so wrong, it’s been this way far too long
And later when it’s much too late
‘I told you so’s won’t save us from our fate
If you will not change your mind
Then your conscience will be blind
There is so much now at stake
You are sleeping wide awake
Can’t you hear the voices rise?
Can’t you hear the amplified?
The moon the stars up in the sky
Judge us all through the same eye
It’s a choice you’ve got to make
Get it right or same mistakes
Know what’s real and know what’s fake
You are sleeping wide awake
You are sleeping wide awake
You are sleeping wide awake
You are sleeping wide awake
You are sleeping wide awake, wide awake
