Give me the light when the sun goes down
Cuz what goes around comes around
Give 'em a fight yes it's proper bound
You see what goes around comes around
Now the gloves are off and the talk is done
I see clearly now what must be done
Go back to the place, back when you were young
You weren't afraid of anything, you weren't afraid of anyone

(I) So wake up
Got no money when I wake up strong
And then another worry comes along
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on
So wake up wake up wake up

All of my teachers' told me I was wrong
But what don't kill you will make you strong
What I found was I was right all along
And if it don't kill you it make you strong

Yes I realize just what I've become
I take that shit head on, oh however it come
Got my direction back, all my friends are around
I feel the change, I feel alive, I feel the lights, I feel the sound

(I) So wake up
Got no money when I wake up strong
And then another worry comes along
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on
So wake up wake up wake up
And if your feelin' like you don't belong
It's time to step into a brand new dawn
You found the light now come and turn it on
Wake up wake up wake up

Hard to live, when your cup is half full
Oh and it's hard to live, now don't you be nobody's fool
So very hard to live, yes it's hard to live
Yes it's hard to live, so very hard to live
That's how we live and learn, don't make it hard to live
That's how we live and learn, oh it's hard to live
Live and learn, it's hard to live
Live and learn, it's hard to live
You live and learn, you have to rise and shine

(I) So wake up
Got no money when I wake up strong
And then another worry comes along
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on
So wake up wake up wake up

And if your feelin' like you don't belong
It's time to step into a brand new dawn
You found the light now come and turn it on
Wake up wake up wake up
I wake up
Wake up wake up wake up
I wake up
Wake up wake up wake up
