Wake Up Dead

[INSTRUMENTAL OPEN] [CHALICE DRUM SOLO] [GUITAR AND FRENCH HORN SOLO] [VERSE 1} You've grown up on television Lost in fantasies and shows Unaware that your decision Plots the way your life will go First you'll worry about the future Then get buried in the past While you pay too little attention To the moments as they pass [PRE-CHORUS] I feel so bad for you You see, I missed it too [CHORUS] Here's a secret, dear Your life will happen all at once Though it may take a hundred years One blink and it is gone So don't get stuck in yesterday Or look too far ahead Enjoy the moments as they come One day you'll wake up dead [VERSE 2] Now you spend the hours wasting Precious time on silly screens Just watching life, not tasting All the joy behind the scenes These are moments that you can't get back Someday you'll know the cost Years later, as you're losing track Of the gift of life you lost [PRE-CHORUS] I feel so bad for you You see, I missed it too [CHORUS] Here's a secret, dear Your life will happen all at once Though it may take a hundred years One blink and it is gone So don't get stuck in yesterday Or look too far ahead Enjoy the moments as they come One day you'll wake up dead One day you'll wake up dead [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] [BRIDGE] You fill your brain with poison Instead of nurturing your spirit Get off of social media Life is calling, can't you hear it? [CHORUS] Here's a secret, dear Your life will happen all at once Though it may take a hundred years One blink and it is gone So don't get stuck in yesterday Or look too far ahead Enjoy the moments as they come One day you'll wake up dead [OUTRO] So put away that mobile phone Stop cramming poison in your head Your life is not that little screen And someday you'll wake up dead Stop watching others live their dreams Enjoy some moments of your own Get out and live in the sunshine Put down that stupid phone! [INSTRUMENTAL OUT] And someday you'll wake up dead Stop watching others live their dreams Enjoy some moments of your own Get out and live in the sunshine Put down that stupid phone! [INSTRUMENTAL OUT]
