Wake Me

Just a mother and sons livin' under the gun

Bruises on their backs were just another

Sign of the push and the shove and the lack of the love

On the side of the tracks that they were brought up

Now they?re speakin' it out through the silence and doubt

Try to figure it out but get caught up

In the here and the now and the where and the how

You know what it?s about when they say

Wake me when it?s over

Pick me up, I?m on the ground

Wake me when it?s over, now

She?s just a girl on the run, hit the streets so undone

Mistreated under the sheets by her father

Keeps her heart cold and numb, thoughts she can?t overcome

Still she looks for the one that could save her

Now she?s workin' it out in the corner of town

Between 7th and south you will find her

With her head in the clouds and her back on the ground

You know what it?s about when she says

Wake me when it?s over

Pick me up, I?m on the ground

Wake me when it?s over

Show me where the light is found

Wake me when it?s over, now

Where are the fathers of the fatherless?

Now they?re speakin' it out through the silence and doubt

Try to figure it out but get caught up

In the here and the now and the where and the how

You know, what it?s about when the say

Wake me when it?s over

Pick me up, I?m on the ground

Wake me when it?s over

Show me where the light is found

Wake me when it?s over

I swear I will not make a sound

Wake me when it?s over

Wake me when it?s over

Wake me when it?s over

Wake me, wake me, wake me, wake me

When it?s over

When it?s over

When it?s over

When it?s over
