Don’t wake in the world where the trees have all died

And the circuits are fried

And the circuses lied

Don’t wake in the world where the kids are all beat

And the syrup’s too sweet

And there’s too many seats

Don’t wake in the world where you watch us fall down

And don’t you dare bow

And we’ll show you how

Don’t wake in the world where you don’t say a word

And they’ll call us absurd

And make sure you’re assured

Don’t wake in the world where you can’t fall asleep

And there’s too many sheep

And your tears start to seep

Don’t wake in the world where the poets are dead

And they come for your head

And your eyes are still red

Don’t wake in the world where the people are abused

And minorities are accused

And priorities are hard to choose

…

Instead wake in the world where there’s a tree standing tall

And the internet doesn’t have it all

And presidents don’t stall

Wake up in the the world where the kids can still smile

And the room isn’t vile

And we can choose our own style

Wake up in the world where you speak against the mass

And you learn how to last

And you learn to talk fast

Wake up in the world where you know how to cry

And you’ll always try

And maybe you can fly

Wake up in the world where you let yourself rest

And put your skills to the test

And let yourself fret

Wake up in the world where the poets will scream

And tear the systems apart at the seams

And it’s only over when we deem it so

Wake up in the world where the people fight back

And pick up the slack

And have a special knack

Wake up tomorrow

And choose the world

You’re waking up in.
