Time To Wake Up
Now´s the time to wake up,
time to shout,
tell the people you meet
what you´re really about
no time for hiding,
no time for shrinking
gotta show the world
what you´re really thinking
cos the frequency is rising
the frequency is rising
the power is rising
the power is rising.....
things are gonna get even more surprising
cos time is quickening
change is quickening
no time for slackening
face the mystery,
the biggest events in recorded history!
don't want to miss out, miss the show
who knows how long we´ve got left to go?
cos Pachamama´s angry,
Pachamama´s crying,
she can only forgive our disrespecting so long.
for once we´ve
trod on her, spat on her,
tore her up, cut her down
smothered her, poisoned her
forgotten that she´s even there!
what can she do but rise up, rise up
shake us up. spit us out,
get rid of these parasites
who always think they´re always right!
who never use their eyes and eyes,
too blind and deaf from all their fears.....
for we hold more magic in our hands
than we can possibly understand
until we wake up, open our minds
leave the old ways of fear and boredom behind
cos what you think, you create,
whatever you love, whatever you hate,
and you decide your destiny
whether you´re trapped, whether you´re free,
you chose your parents, do you know why?
you´ll see yourself if you stare in their eyes,
life´s a joy, life´s a game,
deep, deep down we´re all the same,
i´m your sister, he´s your brother,
don´t like the game?! well, choose another!
you choose the players, you choose the rules
don´t blame me if you´re surrounded by fools!
that´s obviously what you needed right now
to learn your current lesson, somehow
cos life´s just a process of evolution,
evolution is revolution!
cos if we change the way our minds run
we might just change the way the world´s run
learn at last to respect the Mother,
learn to embrace not to kill our brother
join with Pachamama as she is reborn,
hold our heads high, see a brand new dawn.
instead of cowering in the dirt as the earth shakes in anger,
hiding in out homes as the weather gets stranger,
well you can´t hide forever, you got to make a decision
are you going to wait until the waters have risen
and washed you away?
are you in, are you out
It´s time to wake up, time to shout!
