Anthony Oscar - Stay Woke Lyrics

Late in the evening
Put the children to sleep
Sit on a porch swing
And stare at my feet
There's a sliver of sunlight
Left low in the sky
And a young mourning dove
Trying to learn how to fly

Come along my loved one
Sit down with me
Let's go on a walk
Down the path to the sea
No, we're not gods
We're not trying to be
We're human, we're learning
What it means to be free
We're human, we're troubled
And we want to be free

So lay down your burden and pull up a chair
There's plenty of room
For everyone here
Come sit by the fire
'Cause the day has been long
The blues are your anthem
So sing us a song
Yes, the blues are your anthem
Won't you sing us your song

We're human, we're troubled
And we're trying to be loving
And acting compassionately
We're growing into someone
We want to be
Who values justice, mercy and equality

Now i lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord our souls to keep
Save us in this darkest night
We'll stay woke in morning light

And if we live another day
Let us live in a loving way
