Wake-up, America!
Dean Reed
Many years I've been away
Talking about you night and day
Telling people about my country
Telling people about my country
Brother Ho, why would you see
A million killed like you and me?
Our dream, another better country
Our dream, another better country
Wake up, America!
Wake up, America!
Your peace and love can endure
Those taxes that we pay
Don't make us better days
Those bombs don't make us more secure
Wake up, America!
Wake up, America!
Wake up and turn yourself around
Look into every face
And join the human race
Join hands with all the friends you've found
Colony we would have been
We fought the English to be free
We then believed in our own freedom
We all believed in our own freedom
They, the people 'round the world
Also want their flags unfurled
They can change banners to our country's
Change the planet to our country
Wake up, America!
Wake up, America!
Your peace and love can endure
Those taxes that we pay
Don't make us better days
Those bombs don't make us more secure
Wake up, America!
Wake up, America!
Wake up and turn yourself around!
Look into every face
And join the human race
Join hands with all the friends you've found
