Awake Lyrics - Awake - Julian Marley

Whoa, whoa 

Whoa, whoa 

Whoa, whoa 

Ay, for many years we've been lost in our tears 

When will we wake? We've got to wake 

Ay, for many years the prophets have spoken 

But will we hear? 

And still we can't find no peace of mind 

When will we wake? We've got to wake 

When will we wake, awake? We've got to wake, awake 

Said we've fought so many battles, for who? 

Yet our minds remain in shackles 

'Cause if we play dead and blind, we'll never see the sign 

When will we wake? We've got to wake 

When will we wake, awake? We've got to wake, awake, ay 

From down on time began 

Runners polluting by means of exploiting the land 

And they tried to close the open doors 

Before we slipped through 

If we don't know by now, tell you my friend we'll never know 

If you stand subdued, tell me now would you go back? 

The game was set to lose, got to play to win it, yeah 

Lust of life is greed, it's churning poverty 

When will we wake? We've got to wake 

Oh, all, all I wanna know 

When will we wake, awake? We've got to wake, awake, ay 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see 

Open up your eyes and you will see, oh
