When Man Wakes Up
When hope isn’t enough
And love falls on deaf ears
Common sense not so common
When bad dreams wake with tears
When world leaders
Push each others buttons
To the brink of war
When evil gorges on two gluttons
When birds don’t know
Which way to fly
All the flocks of feather
When they all seem to cry
When paws running scared
Can’t hide anymore
Where can they go
When the fire burns shore to shore
When whales lose their way
The ocean currents run amok
Polar Caps melted and gone
When the sea is out of luck
When the trees bare no leaves
From years of air pollutions
And man dropped the ball
When failed to act on solutions
When the sky turns angry
And the Earth changes mood
No matter what the season
When the clouds come unglued
When the ground bleeds
All around the globe
A sad day it’ll be
When the Earth decides to disrobe
When suddenly the sun shines
Through the window it streams
The look of pure horror
When man wakes up from his bad dreams
