Wake Up, Sleepy Head!

Wake up, sleepy head, arise and leave the bed, stand up and be counted, for long you tarried; the world waits, go out and just leave your fear, liberation is near, you can feel it in the air. You spent all your waking moments wondering why along the path of life you keep on falling; hey, do you not see the writing on the wall? there’s no rising up if there’s no falling at all. It does not matter how many times you crumble, there is no need to fear the strife and the trouble; give it your best shot, go out and wage your fight, it is time to do what is true and what is right. If you do not want to go crazy, just be like me - yes, I choose to be happy than being lonely; do not be so serious lest you might drop dead, never let problems get inside your silly head!
