In this world confusion lies 
Within' the hearts and minds
The headline say no peace today 
With other games to play

Wake me up in the morning
Wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Wake me up in the morning
Let the sunlight lift my eyes

White man says this land is mine
Black brothers [bad word] their power sign
Students boss with Chris cross thoughts
Our blood is sipped like wine

Wake me up in the morning
Wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Wake me up in the morning
Let the sunlight lift my eyes

...

We walk upon a sea of tears
The promised land we seek
So lay me down to sleep my love
And pray my soul to keep

Wake me up in the morning
Wipe the teardrops from my eyes
Wake me up in the morning
Let the sunlight lift my eyes

Wake me up in the morning
