Bernie Worrell - Wake Up lyrics

[Chorus] You got to wake up You're in the presence of your future Wake up, see what you're doing in our sleep You got to wake up You're in the presence of your future Wake up, from the mistakes of the past [Verse 1] From time to time we come alive But not for very long See what shape the world is in And wonder what went wrong Never dreaming, not for a second That sleeping is the cause We make solutions in our sleep It's dangerous for us all [Chorus] [Verse 2] In our sleep, we live it up Just to wake up and find our dead Change our hair and hairstyles too But have the same empty heads Brothers and sisters I'm telling you Now's all the time for us This is what we've got to do And we can have the lives we'd love? [Pre-Chorus] Wake up You got to wake up [Chorus] [Verse 3] In our sleep, we change our way We change our suit of clothes We change our church, we change our god But have the same funky soul Never dreaming, not for a second Sleeping is the cause We make solutions in our sleep And it's dangerous for us all [Pre-Chorus]
