Awake (Motu)

Watch as the world is on fire
Still held up in chains and barbed wire
And all of what we treasure
Vanish like feathers

All their mistakes, they surface
And now we’re awake, they curse us
No one learns the lessons
Repeating is a given
Yeah

Their disgrace
Can’t be undone
‘Cause they can’t erase
What’s entrenched in love

Oh my days
Those old ways
Got to change
‘Cause we won’t give in

Is this what you wanna see?
Is this how you wanna be?
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead
If freedom’s not a thing
For those who dare to dream
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead

Those smouldering flames still burning
Let’s watch as the world keeps turning
When value doesn’t measure
No worth in your endeavours

What remains the same
What does not give up
Is that hope won’t fade
They can’t drown that love
Oh my days
Those old ways
They gon’ change
‘Cause we keep on living

Is this what you wanna see?
Is this how you wanna be?
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead
If freedom’s not a thing
For those who dare to dream
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead

Is this what you wanna see?
Is this how you wanna be?
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead
If freedom’s not a thing
For those who dare to dream
How we gonna live
How we gonna lead
