Wake Up Irene
[unknown] Lyrics

Look how far we’ve come now
Reflecting on the progress made so far

This is how it’s done
Acknowledging the successful approach taken

Some Love, Some Hate
Acknowledging the varying attitudes towards life

However you frame it the faces change
People respond differently to different situations

Growth from Relationships
Personal growth from different relationships

Knowledge from the pain
Learning from difficult experiences

Inches away from death at any moment
Being aware of the fragility of life

Less time to explain
Limited time to express oneself

Saying goodbye, now what’s next
Facing the uncertainty of what comes next

We will see each other again
Believing in the possibility of reunion

Past memories remind me of how lucky I’ve been
Reflecting on the positive experiences in life

Now I’m stuck to this pen
Finding solace in writing

Sometimes my only friend
Expressing a feeling of loneliness

In an attempt to be like them
Striving to fit in with others

But who am I
Questioning one's identity

Why try to rely on my health
Not wanting to rely on physical health

I’m selfishly helpless but I’m primed to sell myself quick
Feeling helpless but still eager to succeed

I’m wealthy of spirit its eerie
Feeling abundant in spirit

You’re just like me but you don’t want to hear it.
Acknowledging similarities with others

Now c’mon brother WAKE UP
Encouragement to wake up and take action

You too sister WAKE UP
Encouragement to wake up and take action

We are all on the same damn plain now
Acknowledging the shared experience of life

Needed a little bit of indifference
Recognizing the need to be less affected by external factors

Satisfied by no means
Not being content with the status quo

Dwindled in the middle fit with phony riddles
Feeling lost and surrounded by dishonesty

Brash metaphors like high beams
Using strong language to convey a message

It’s too much
Feeling overwhelmed

Turn it off
Disconnecting from negative influences

Abort the course to force an idea
Reconsidering a plan of action

Hang for a second and I reckon you’ll be beckoned
Taking a moment to consider and being rewarded with insight

With a message full of pressure non the lesser
Being impacted by a powerful message

We’ve been slaving for so long
Feeling overworked and underappreciated

Crazed and outraged
Feeling intense emotions

Better to be hated, debated
Preferring honest opinions, even if negative

Then to cater to what they made you
Not wanting to conform to societal expectations

Stay smart always
Encouragement to always be wise

All days come to pass
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of life

Cast out the last doubt
Eliminating any lingering doubt

Always stay thirsty
Encouragement to always be eager to learn

Encouraging and nourishing a younger generation
Helping others to grow and learn

Let's face it they're over taking
Recognizing the growth and potential of the next generation

WAKE UP
Encouragement to take action and live fully

Brother WAKE UP
Encouragement to wake up and take action

You too sister WAKE UP
Encouragement to wake up and take action

We are all on the same damn plain now WAKE UP
Acknowledging the shared experience of life and the need to wake up

WAKE UP!
Urgent encouragement to take action and live life fully
