Wake Up Lyrics - Uriah Heep

Wake up, set your sights 

For never shall we fail 

Stand up for your rights 

And justice will prevail 

You're listening 

Through endless nights 

And decision is your goal 

So wake up, set your sights 

Oh, the time is right for your role 

Yeah, or your role 

Wake up, wake up, wake up 

Set your sights 

Never, never, never 

Shall we fail 

Stand up, stand up, stand up 

For your rights 

Justice, justice, justice 

Will prevail 

There in the morning 

Flying over the hills 

While men are yawning 

They are crushed by our wills 

Never have I witnessed 

People in fear 

Not like today 

Not in many a year 

Go kill another 

There are more close behind 

"No" screams a mother 

"Are you out of your mind" 

Though they are shattered 

They just don't seem to yield 

Bodies are scattered 

In all parts of the field 

Oh no, did I tell you 

What would happen if you tried 

"Oh god, stop this killing!" 

Said a young man 

Before he died
