Wake Up John Songtext
von Urusen

Locked in a dream I found, I test my mind′s ability
At sleeping through the sound of engines running near to me
Won't turn down for you
And on the ocean bed, this tireless whale that waits for war
With men inside its head, there from the day they closed the door
Won′t turn 'round for you

She waits and when she sees you (she is feeling down)
She waits and when she sees you, she is scared to tell you

And just because you sleep, wake up John
You said yourself that there's no point carrying on
If you reveal, they′ll send you back where you
Where you came from

Great iron bridges lead us over places once impossible
Great stony ridges that we′ve conquered, wild old lands uncrossable
Take us under now, you (take us under)

She waits and when she sees you (she is feeling down)
She waits and when she sees you, she is scared to tell you


And just because you sleep, wake up John
You said yourself that there's no point carrying on
If you reveal, they′ll send you back where you
Where you came from, where you came from

We wait for messages to tell us that they're all alright
They wait for radios to tell them that we′re all okay
And if there's nothing I′d be last of all to know
Why would you share the news with me?
Why would you let me know?
Why would you let me know?
Why would you let me know?
Why would you let me?

And just because you sleep, wake up John
You said yourself that there's no point carrying on
If you reveal, they'll send you back where you
And just because you dream, wake up John
You said yourself that there′s no point carrying on
If you reveal, they′ll send you back where you
Where you came from
