Album | Wake Up! |
[00:25.01] | They wait to plead their case, unknown cast aside |
[00:32.48] | I love to see their face, can we spare the lie? |
[00:36.92] | |
[00:40.04] | Are we afraid to see them, prisoners of history |
[00:45.85] | |
[00:46.86] | These beautiful minds, trapped inside, bring them back to life |
[00:52.73] | |
[00:53.98] | Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on |
[00:58.98] | |
[01:01.92] | Let 'em shine, let 'em shine on |
[01:07.48] | |
[01:10.40] | Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh |
[01:14.46] | |
[01:25.22] | So dark when I see sparks, if we don't snuff 'em out |
[01:30.24] | |
[01:31.86] | We've gotta let 'em flame, let 'em speak their name |
[01:35.54] | Let 'em reach up to the clouds |
[01:37.42] | |
[01:40.29] | Can't eat if we don't feed 'em, can't read if we don't teach 'em |
[01:45.99] | |
[01:47.04] | There's no light if we just hide 'em |
[01:49.54] | |
[01:50.23] | Don't just let 'em die |
[01:53.89] | Let 'em shine (yeah yeah yeah) let 'em shine on |

[02:23.17] | Ohhhhh sparks flicker, in the distance |
[02:26.42] | Lonely out in space |
[02:30.05] | They sing out, but we're not listening |
[02:33.67] | Cause we don't see their face |
[02:36.16] | |
[02:37.33] | We can't let 'em die we can't, make 'em hide |
