[Hook]

Wake up yeah wake up, it's time to awake
Get up yeah get up, and get on your way
Look out yeah look out, it's a brand new day
That's right yeah thats right everything is okay

[Verse 1]

When the worlds trying to break me down
My mind was lost and it couldn't be found
Everybody kept telling me what to do with my life
But sometimes good intentions don't make it right
And so I had a choice to make
In this life which road am I gonna take
Cause deep down I knew I had to find my way
And don't listen to what everybody gotta say
So every time that I pray, I thank the Lord for today
Because tomorrow ain't promise and I'ma live long
And I'll sleep when I'm dead and gone
Now wake up

[Hook]

Wake up yeah wake up, it's time to awake
Get up yeah get up, and get on your way
Look out yeah look out, it's a brand new day
That's right yeah thats right everything is okay
[Verse 2]

I remember those days when I wasn't really satisfied
My life wasn't moving how I wanted so I'd rather die
People looking at me sideways cause I decided the hell with school
A piece of paper don't define me cause mom and dad ain't raise a fool
So that's when I decided won't nobody take control of me
And all these other setbacks will no longer take a hold of me
This for all my people that is caught up in a bind
Don't you know it's our time, don't you know it's our time
To wake up

[Hook]

Wake up yeah wake up, it's time to awake
Get up yeah get up, and get on your way
Look out yeah look out, it's a brand new day
That's right yeah thats right everything is okay
