Wake Up and Live Lyrics

Wake up and live, yall
Wake up and Live!
Wake up and live now
Wake up and Live!

Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you riding through the ruts,
dont you complicate your mind:
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah!

All together now:
Wake up and live (wake up and live yall)
Wake up and live (wake up and live),
wake up and wake up and live, yeah (wake up and live now)
wake up and (wake up and live) wake up and live

Rise ye mighty people, ye-ah!
There's work to be done,
So lets do it - a little by little
Rise from your sleepless slumber! yes, yeah yes, yeah
We're more than sand on the sea shore,
We're more than numbers

All together now:
Wake up and live now ya'll!
Wake up and live (wake up and live),
wake up and live, ya'll
(wake up and live) wake up and live now

you see, one - one cocoa full a basket,
whey they use you live big today: tomorrow you buried in-a casket
one - one cocoa full a basket, yeah, yes
whey they use you live big today: tomorrow you buried in-a casket

Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you riding through the ruts,
dont you complicate your mind:
Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy!
Don't bury your thoughts; put your vision to reality, yeah!

to me it means live your life. stay rooted in the present. make your dreams become a reality (now). and dont let anything distract you from that.
