Joel McKinnon - Wake Up! Lyrics

Do you feel it?
A warming of the ground?
Something is happening
Vibrations all around

What life of misery
Such a sleep of terrors
What new torment coming
To realize all our fears?

Wake up!
New world, new life
Wake up!

I liked the cold and quiet
A perfect place to sleep
I'll get up in a moment
Is there anything to eat?

Greet the dawn, get to work
Making a change, get it on
Crank the heat, by means and steps
Orbiting mirrors, let 'em shine, shine, shine

Lower albedo, thicken the air
Plant the seeds... everywhere
Wake the old ones, help 'em thrive
Bring 'em all out... in the sun

Long I lay in endless sleep
My time, my love had passed
Now what stirs me, brings me warmth
Is she here again at last?

I was drained and long dispersed
Now buoyed by life anew
Accelerated bounty blooms
Does my lover feel this too?

Our perfect world is here now
Just as I forecast
Time to start evolving
This time make it last!

Seems we face another round
New anguish comes again
The beauty and the tragedy
I'll represent the pain

Wake up!
New world, new life
Wake up!

Cell walls are expanding
Arms and legs and tail
Duty calls to eat and sleep
Maybe I'll become a whale!

We need more air, water and heat
Methane and ice... asteroids!
Green the house, think tropical lads
Plants and forests, build it to last

Rains are falling, seas to the brim
New life... stir the pot
World now lives, first job done, peek in now and then
Wait for the women and men

No more alone I live now
Above my Sky abides
I dance and sing in happiness
Below my Planet sighs
A gift of joy and grace
With love, embrace new life!

Wake up!
