Waking

Waking to the beating
Waking to the drum

I am not safe in this place
I am not equipped to feeling brave
I will never have all the things you have
Look at us, we're trapped without a chance
Why am I stopped here? Identification lapse
Why can't I go there? Left in a collapse

I wanna go
I wanna stay

I can't be safe, be safe, no
I wanna feel safe now
Take me from this place
Cause I can't live here

Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum, drum

Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum, drum

They cannot wait to change love for hate
One push, one call, radioactive fate
There's a line no one like me could cross
But our time, our chance
I wanna get a chance

I wanna go
I wanna stay

Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum, drum

Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum

(Waking)
(Oh beating)

I wanna
Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum, drum

Waking to the beating of the drum
Cause I want to be a part in all the
Waking of the people
Hear the drum, drum
