Lyrics:
It’s hard to see the beggars in the streets
It’s hard to hear the little children cry
I know it’s hard to feel what they feel
Right now today

It’s hard to taste the poison in the air
It’s hard to smell the greed of men up there
I know it’s hard to feel what I feel
Right now today

Don’t you know that we can change what tomorrow would bring?
We never need to take this anymore
It’s time to wake up and be that change
Or there’d be nothing left for us to live for

When John imagined we’d give peace a chance
When Ghandi fought for the freedom of his land
When Martin dreamt of fairness for all men 
They tried but died

Don’t you know that they have changed the world we live in?
They never wanted to take it anymore
It’s time to wake up and share their dream
Or it’d be nothing that these heroes lived for

It’s time to change the way we treat each other
It’s time for us to rid the world of hunger
I know it’s time we loved one another
It’s hard but it’s time

Don’t you know that we can change the world we live in?
We never need to take this anymore
It’s time to wake up and be that change
Or there’d be nothing left for us to live for


Time to Wake Up (My Original)

Verse 1
C2-G2-Am2-F1-Dm1-C4
C2                                   G2
Back in the day when we used to say
         Am2                       F1             Dm1
That we would stay forever this way
C2                                  G2
We tried so hard but ran out of luck
        Am2               F1                   Dm1
And in the end it all turned so dark

Pre-chorus
C4
We realized
    Dm4
After some time
         Em4
That love was gone
F2     G1-Am1  Bm4
Why carry on

Chorus
C4
Back when we were younger
            G4
When we were so in love
                  Am4
I couldn’t stay away 
           F2               D2
From you, from you

C4
Now that that’s all over
   G4
I think I’ve had enough
                         Am4
Cause you’ve gone astray
           F2           Dm2           C4           
From me, from me, from me

Verse 2
We tried our best but failed the test
And now it’s time for me to rest
You asked to wait to see how it played
I think you know that it’s just too late

Pre-chorus
After that day
I cannot stay
Your true colours showed
I should have known

Chorus
Back when we were younger
When we were so in love
I couldn’t stay away 
From you, from you

Now that that’s all over
I think I’ve had enough
Cause you’ve gone astray
From me, from me, from me
Bridge
Am2                   G2
You will always be
F2                                       EM2
Wonderful/beautiful to me
Am2                              G2
But darling can’t you see
          F2                       Em1   Dm1 C4  
That we were never meant to be

Pre-chorus
We realized
After some time
That love was gone
Why carry on

Chorus
Back when we were younger
When we were so in love
I couldn’t stay away 
From you, from you

Now that that’s all over
I think I’ve had enough
Cause you’ve gone astray
From me, from me, from me

You’ll live happily without me
