Brother, come and wake me up
Every day is remade from dusk to dawn
Life and death will guide us all
Simple pleasures help me carry on
Brother, come and sing a song
While we're waiting for the sky to fall
The day of reckoning has come
Hell and heaven ain't so far along
I never could decide which way to walk
I fought these wars for years and years
Did none of them really exist?
I woke up screaming in the night
And never found a cure for it
But it's past time to recognize
The little things that make a life
Brother, look at what we've done
There's a better world before our eyes
I'll bite my lip and taste the blood
Just to know for sure that I'm alive
The storm has come and gone and we survived
Brother, come and wake me up
Every day is remade from dusk to dawn
Life and death will guide us all
Simple pleasures help me carry on
