Wake Up
Abdullateef Moshood
Apr 11
Wake up; there's no warmth in the morning
Wake up; just the cold on my skin
No love; just the echoes of the silence
No hand ever reaching within
Wake up; is there anyone who's listening?
Wake up; I’ve been crying without sound
Oh love; I have begged beneath the ruins
Still no soul is ever around
Alone; alone... no one’s coming
Alone; alone... just the rain
Alone; alone.... can you hear it?
The sound of a world gone vain.
Wake up; see the riches getting richer
Wake up; while we’re sleeping in pain
No love; just the stares of empty people
Who pass by again and again
Wake up; see the silence in the alleys
Wake up; there's a riot in the valleys
Oh love; all the hope is now hollow
We beg; they feast; we starve and follow
Wake up; every window shows a banquet
Wake up; but my table stays bare
Oh love; they don't notice we're still hungry
Just pity in the way that they stare
Wake up; where's the fire for the freezing?
Wake up; where's the bread for the pleading?
No love; just the chains and the taxes
We're ghosts in gold-plated palaces
Wake up; I've been shouting from the alleys
Wake up; but my voice is too weak
No love; when you’re poor and always broken
You’re too tired to even speak
Wake up; does the system ever shiver?
Wake up; while we drown in the river
Oh love; they pretend they never knew us
With lies they lace; then blame and sue us
Wake up; there’s a child beneath the lamplight
Wake up; he's got tears in his eyes
Oh love; he was born into the struggle
And taught early how to survive
Wake up; little boy; keep your distance
Wake up; they despise your existence
No love; just a knife in the lecture
Grow old fast; but learn to play lesser
Wake up; see the men who hold the power
Wake up; they don’t bleed like we do
No love; when your pain is just statistics
And your home is a cold avenue
Wake up; see the rich in their towers
Wake up; they consume; we count hours
Oh love; when you cry; they call it drama
But we bleed truth beneath the trauma
Wake up; there's no hope in the system
Wake up; it was rigged from the start
Oh love; all they gave me was a warning
And a crack right through my heart
Wake up; it’s too late for redemption
Wake up; still I whisper this prayer
No love; but I walk with all the lonely
And I hold them in the air
Wake up; all the streets are still burning
Wake up; but the world keeps turning
Oh love; if you feel like you’re drowning
Just know; you’re not alone in frowning
Wake up; I’m a voice that’s been hidden
Wake up; from a world cold and ridden
No love; but I still sing for the fallen
For the ones who rise when they’re crawling
Wake up; they designed us for the aching
Wake up; every smile could be faking
Oh love; if your soul feels forsaken
You're not weak; just too often shaken
Alone; alone... no dawn is breaking
Alone; alone... just the night
Alone; alone... are you still waiting?
Or have you drowned without a fight?
Wake up; just the cold on my skin
No love; just the echoes of the silence
No hand ever reaching within
Wake up; is there anyone who's listening?
Wake up; I’ve been crying without sound
Oh love; I have begged beneath the ruins
Still no soul is ever around
Alone; alone... no one’s coming
Alone; alone... just the rain
Alone; alone.... can you hear it?
The sound of a world gone vain.
Wake up; see the riches getting richer
Wake up; while we’re sleeping in pain
No love; just the stares of empty people
Who pass by again and again
Wake up; see the silence in the alleys
Wake up; there's a riot in the valleys
Oh love; all the hope is now hollow
We beg; they feast; we starve and follow
Wake up; every window shows a banquet
Wake up; but my table stays bare
Oh love; they don't notice we're still hungry
Just pity in the way that they stare
Wake up; where's the fire for the freezing?
Wake up; where's the bread for the pleading?
No love; just the chains and the taxes
We're ghosts in gold-plated palaces
Wake up; I've been shouting from the alleys

Alone; alone... no dawn is breaking
Alone; alone... just the night
Alone; alone... are you still waiting?
Or have you drowned without a fight?
