[Intro]
When the world awakens
Wake up!
When the world awakens!

[Verse 1]
A shadow washing over our heads
As our eyes go back to sleep again
While the future's fading
The future's fading
In the light we build a world of darkness
Lost in our own ignorance
While a fire is raging, a fire is raging

[Chorus]
Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens

[Verse 2]
Scorched the earth of mother nature
As we slip beneath the water's edge
Now the future's fading, the future's fading
Will we blindly walk in through the doorway
Like cattle to the slaughtering
While a fire is raging, a fire
[Chorus]
Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens

[Bridge]
This world's been slipping through our hands
Been slipping through our hands
This world's been slipping through our hands (Slipping, slipping)
Been slipping through our hands
(Woah oh oh, woah oh oh, woah oh oh)
Slipping through our hands
(Woah oh oh, woah oh oh, woah oh oh)
Slipping through our

[Chorus]
Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens
[Outro]
Enough of this world has been slipping through our hands
Slipping, slipping through our hands
Enough of this world has been slipping through our hands
Slipping, slipping through our hands
(Woah oh oh, woah oh oh, woah oh oh)
Slipping through our hands!
