There's flies buzzing around me

I'm begging for a breeze

The grass that surrounds me is so high

That I can't see

There's something out there watching me

And I can't find no peace

If it catches up with me

It's gonna kill me by degrees oh no

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up

Stand up Stand up

Wake up

The sun is sinking fast now

And the night is moving in

I've got to find a place

Where I know I won't be seen

If you're out there can't you help me

I try but I can't scream

And I know that it's not real

But I can't break out of this dream

Oh no oh no

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up

This song is for the people living this dream

Their minds twisted in an endless scream

We're walking through a graveyard

The wind howling through the trees

We've got to wake up soon

Or life will pass by like a breeze

Oh no oh no

What's it gonna take to make you realize

You're killing yourself

I've seen it in your eyes

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up

Stand up Stand up

Wake up Wake up
