Shake Us Now
I am so involved with myself.
I’ve forgotten how to even be aware of someone else.
My house, my car, my phone, my bank account…
Triviality keeps me safe from anything that counts.
Shake us now back to what we ought to be.
Where’s my blood? Does it still flow in me?
Well, it’s rising.
And I feel this wave wash over me.
With my eyes turned in to my head
I can’t see the world, but now I’m ready to do something real.
Shake us now back to what we ought to be.
Where’s my blood? Does it still flow in me?
Well, it’s rising.
And I feel this wave wash over me.
Just one wave, one tragedy.
Why does it take so many deaths
For us to find some unity?
Well, it’s rising.
I feel this wave wash over me.
It’s rising.
