[Verse 1] Awaken, world, you’ve slept for far too long, You’ve strayed so far from where you once belonged. While you were dreaming sweet and unaware, The truth turned bitter, twisted in despair. [Verse 2] Awaken now, your dream may taste like bliss, But now’s the time to fix what’s gone amiss! False is the path where mankind blindly heads, Painted are the shores, deceptive riverbeds. [Chorus] Awaken, for tomorrow might be late, The final train won’t linger at the gate. We’ll stand alone, the platform cold and bare, Only the wind will find us waiting there. [Verse 3] The chance to change may never come again, What’s left of life lies dormant in the rain. No way to turn once you descend the slope, A hopeless path that steals away all hope. [Bridge] Now we must rise, now we must confess, Unload our sins in humble helplessness. Whisper prayers through every rosary bead, Beg the skies for mercy in our need. [Outro] And maybe God will hear our trembling plea, And grace will set our lost souls truly free. Then life may turn and gently realign, And we may rest beneath a calm divine.
