Wake up Citizen Wake up from the nightmare We’re living in The heat is rising And it’s time for you to care Of what’s going onWake up father Stop beating your son To make him a branded man He is free as a bird To fly high of the sky Let him chase a dream Wake up Mother Don’t live under the labels We’re putting you in No more hiding in the house Don’t silence the abuse Howl to the world what’s going on Wake up brother Wake up sister Love and keep love flowing Teach the children To not live with hate And make em chase their dreams Wake up bus drivers Wake up old farmers Wake up lawyers And the doctors too Wake up players Wake up students Wake up from the slumber That’s clouding you Wake up citizens, We’re all united Let’s make things started Raise your voice And make a choice To change what’s going on

Excellent!!! Abuse is abuse, no matter where on earth it happens. Needs no translation in order to Bring Awareness to this problem happening globally, right 'under our own roof' and neighborhood, many times. When you see abuse, Call It! Many times other people don't know what to do, who to call, or even IF their alert will even make any Difference. The vulnerable deserve our protection and help. Even people who are strong, may have an episode where they become an unwitting victim in a circumstance they didn't bring on. This can feel quite demoralizing, and even shatter a normally-strong individual. It's unique to what happens--- everyone has a weakpoint, even when it's temporary, that can bring you into a place where others have to step in and BE the Friend, the Tribe, the Ones who Represent everything that's Right and Good about being a Human Being on the Planet Earth. I'm so glad the times are Changing, and that citizens are saying that 'Enough is enough'! No More Abuse. ... We are Leveling our Standing Power. EVERYONE has the Right to Dignity, and Food, and a Home where they can live Unmolested. Everyone needs to have equal opportunities.... in a way that is 'tailored' to THEM. I just saw this piece of news on Yahoo while I was searching for quote.... http://www.yahoo.com/news/canada-aboriginal-community-declares-suicide-030245174.html This world needs our COMPASSION, and LOVE which PROMPTS ACTION taken on all behalfs. .... Thanks LFDX, for your Awareness, and your Heart. IP: Logged |

Thank you for reading it, this song was inspired about a story a friend said about the latest strike that's happening here in my country. Thousands of farmers are here downtown to protest, and also some people that are against a new law that raises the taxes for cooperatives up to 10%, and that's bad for the low and middle classes around here, and they've been protesting for 9 days already, and it's causing an uproar, a good one.The story in question is that my friend met a Countrymen while she was on the bus, and she was hearing that the man was calling a lot of people to get ready to go to the plaza for the protest, and that they have made a lot of things to get the money to make the travel to here, cause they live quite far from the city, and they are doing whatever they can make to make this count, but the media and the goverment are ******* it up badly. It's quite a thing what's happening here, and I hope things can get better, cause here in Paraguay, things are going to collapse soon if things don't change. IP: Logged |
