When the world awakens
Wake up!
When the world awakens

There is a shadow washing over our heads
As our eyes go back to sleep again
While the future's fading
The future's fading
In the light, we build a world of darkness
Lost in our own ignorance
While the fire is raging, a fire is raging

Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens

Scorched the earth of mother nature
As we slip beneath the water's edge
Now the future's fading, the future's fading
Will we blindly walk in through the doorway?
Like cattle to the slaughtering
While a fire's raging, a fire!

Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens

Enough of this world's been slipping through our hands
Been slipping through our hands
Enough of this world's been slipping through our hands
Slipping through our hands (been slipping through our hands)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Slipping through our hands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Slipping through our hands

Wake up!
When the world awakens, we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one, then we could start again
We'll be broken from this cage
When the world awakens

Enough of this world's been slipping through our hands (slipping through our hands)
Been slipping through our hands
Enough of this world's been slipping through our hands (slipping through our hands)
Been slipping through our hands
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Slipping through our hands
