Wake up

Wake up 

The world’s gone mad

It’s time to run

Pack light

There’s not much time 

Take the essentials 

Throw in some love and faith 

And strength, you’ll need it

And an open mind 

Some inner peace 

Will do you good

Might even save your life 

Forget convictions

They’re a luxury 

Pack some common sense 

There’s a shortage nowadays 

Add loyalty and integrity 

You’ll need the courage 

And a bit of recklessness 

And hope

Don’t forget hope
