Wake Up Songtext
von Matisyahu

I′ve been arguing with angels all my life
I've been mixing all the darkness with the light
Slayin′ giants, a slingshot by my side (so alive)

So alive
Echo in the distance like a siren
You're on fire
Baby, you know pressure makes that diamond

You're a phoenix and you′re rising in the smoke
Ash to ash, dust to dust will turn to gold
Even the holiest of men are made of bones

You look away, world keeps burning (burning, burning)
You′re losing faith, know that it's hurting (hurting, hurting)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, oh-oh
Because you′re losing faith
Know that it's hurting (hurting, hurting)


The messages that come to me are voices of the age
I twist it up like medicine, like flower in my jay
I′m a caffeinated veteran, I'm spiritually invested in
I can′t erase what's permanent, I'm consciously inventing it
Results vary already (cuttin′ through the mix)
Truth buried in a cemetery (′til you find out it's a myth)

You′re a phoenix and you're rising in the smoke
Ash to ash, dust to dust will turn to gold
Even the holiest of men are made of bones

You look away, world keeps burning (burning, burning)
You′re losing faith, know that it's hurting (hurting, hurting)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, oh-oh
Because you′re losing faith
Know that it's hurting (hurting, hurting)

(Burning, burning, burning)
(Burning, burning, burning)

You look away, world keeps burning (burning, burning)
You're losing faith, know that it′s hurting (hurting, hurting)
Wake up, wake up, wake up, oh-oh
Because you′re losing faith
Know that it's hurting (hurting, hurting)
