Story Behind The Song

A dear friend and band mate committed suicide. I wish he would have waited to see what his next moment might have brought.

Song Description

I've been very down & deppressed plenty of times, but things have a way of working themselves out. It's like anger...count to ten. Well, before you do something you can not undo, give it a day or at least a moment...Oh, and here it comes, your next momen

Lyrics

WAKE UP (It's Here)

Sometimes I?m asleep ?
I can?t always tell you when -
But I know time?s been here,
that will never come again ?
Too tired to notice ? Too far-gone to care ?
Another moment, here and lost,
and I wasn?t even there ?

There are angels - there are demons -
and if you don?t stay awake?
it can be hard to tell which advice
to ignore -- or which to take ?
There?s a path that leads out of the cities?
the villages and towns ?
Far past the things that we collect?
beyond the sacred ground ?

Wake up ? Shake your head ?
Wipe away the tears and fear -
Wake up ? Something?s happening?
It may not be too clear ? but,
Before you miss another chance ?
Before you disappear ?
Wake up, your next moment
Is here ?

You can bury them, or burn them ?
scatter them at sea ?
Ashes to ashes -
What will be, will be, will be ---- but
When it?s over, it?s not over ?
Not ?til the lady sings her song ?
Sometimes she sings too quickly?
sometimes she takes so long-

Wake up ? Shake your head ?
Wipe away the tears and fear -
Wake up ? Something?s happening?
It may not be too clear ? but,
Before you make another mistake ?
Before you disappear ?
Wake up, your next moment
Is here ?

(Solo)

Before you miss another chance ?
Before you disappear ?
Wake up, your next moment
Is here -
