I remember the story The story of the little boy The story of the mother's child The story of all And I remember the middle of the darkness Reaching out for a hand to hold Reaching out for anything That'll lead me back home I'm still here I'm still waiting for you After all these years After all these years ♪ I remember the shadows On the walls of my memory They move around like reality In this prison that we've made And I remember the firstborn sunrise Couldn't stand to open my eyes Like a blind man wandering On the edge of this grave I'm still here I'm still waiting for you After all these years After all these years ♪ Campfires and masquerades Come and go like cheap parades When nothing's lost and nothing's changed We like it that way Our politicians have to lie 'Cause if they opened up our eyes We'd kill then just like others who tried To pull us out of this cave Maybe that's why we're so shaken When our questions have the courage to Come and drag us from our fiction Those who fear the grave never find the truth But every day begins at midnight And if we're ever gonna see the sunrise Somebody's gotta wake up Before the morning comes ♪ Yeah, somebody's gotta wake up Gotta wake up Somebody's gotta wake up Before the morning comes Somebody's gotta wake up Gotta wake up Somebody's gotta wake up Before the morning comes Mmm, gotta wake up Mmm, gotta wake up, wake up Before the morning comes
