Wake Up the City
Go ahead and take away
The promises that we all made
The lives we lead the days gone by
My early years stripped from my mind
My youth's spirit I cannot find
You broke us all from the inside
Then walk through all these shattered dreams
And lack of curiosity
Hey!
Days gone black and nights gone dull
We fight through this conforming lull
Through bruised and battered sleepless night
And opened blackened bloodshot eyes
You turned your back and walked away
To leave us for a darker day
To change these apathetic minds
We raise a fist in this reprise
Stand on your feet (Whoa)
Now I see (Whoa)
Wake up the city (Whoa)
We'll take to the streets (Whoa)
Warm up broken hearts gone numb
Battle off lost minds gone dumb
The power comes from deep seeded roots
Inside each and every one of you
My brother hold my hand
My sister take a stand
We'll scream together until the end
Now raise a fist and sing my friend
Stand on your feet (Whoa)
Now I see (Whoa)
Wake up the city (Whoa)
We'll take to the streets (Whoa)
(Whoa oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh)
(Whoa oh oh) We'll colour the day and take back the night
It's our only hope let's make this all right
(Whoa oh oh) We'll colour the day and take back the night
It's our only hope
Stand on your feet (Whoa)
Now I see (Whoa)
Wake up the city (Whoa)
We'll take to the streets (Whoa)
Hey!

We'll take to the streets (Whoa)
Hey!
