Wake Up

Drowning our sorrows
Smoking the hallows
This can’t be happening
But it’s the real thing
Chewing on tacos
Sipping nachos
Getting emotional
I think we lost control

Wake up, wake up
Nows the time
Get up, get up
Make this right
We owe it all to ourselves
Let’s make this happen
Let’s make this happen now

Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall
Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall

Feeling so helpless
We can’t except this
Time moving slowly
Hope this is all a dream
Keeping that focus
Open that lotus
Can’t wait to start again
Just want this year to end

Wake up, wake up
Nows the time
Get up, get up
Make this right
We owe it all to ourselves
Let’s make this happen now

Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall
Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall

(You should never view your challenges as a disadvantage)
(Instead, It's important for you to understand that your experience facing and overcoming adversity)
(Is actually one of your biggest advantages)

Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall
Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall

Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall
Hold on, never let go
Together we rise
Together we fall

(You'll experience illnesses and losses, crises and setback that will come)
(Out of nowhere and knock of your feet)
(But unlike so many other young people, you have already developed the resilience and the maturity)
(That you need to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep moving through the pain, keep moving forward)
