lyrics

If You Ever Wake Up

If you ever wake up
tears are going to flow
deserts will be flooded
flowers will begin to grow
born from all the years of struggle
passed down through the years

If you ever wake up, you’ll know you’re not alone.
If you ever wake up, you’ll know you’re not alone.

If she ever wakes up
she will be amazed
at the beauty and bounty
birds singing in mysterious ways
a rush of wind through the trees
the sheer brilliance of a billion stars

If she ever wakes up, she’ll know she’s not alone.
If she ever wakes up, she’ll know she’s not alone.

If the world should ever wake up
some will fall to the ground
choking on grief, seeking relief
from hunger and violence that abounds
and people left alone with their pain,
others look away in disdain

If the world should wake up, they’ll know they’re not alone.
If the world should wake up, they’ll know they’re not alone.
