wake up
wake up
come to the surface of this soil
see what you have not been able to see under all those dirty stories
understand that you’ve been misled and deceived

and yes, you sometimes participated in the deception

wake up, for the sake of the children, wake up
you say you care
I believe you
and I believe you’ve forgotten what that means… to care.
Caring is not a newspaper thrown on someone’s front lawn from very far away
while riding your bike in your personal neighborhood
Caring is riding into their neighborhood, getting off your bike,
and tending to their garden.

Wake up and rise to the surface of this soil.
