Lyrics
WE MUST WAKE
1- When a child is left alone
Prematurely all are gone
And it's a usual affair
There's something wrong
There's so much wrong
All your life you had them there
Suddenly you must prepare
Give them up to that same snare
Isn't it clear?
You're full of fear
Chorus - We must wake
We must wake each other up
This pain we have
Let's not let it take our place
2- For your sake you must take care
Somebody, they need you there
Please be careful with your life
Don't let it fall
You have it all
Chorus -
Musical interlude
Chorus and end
