Story behind the song
Someone on television was speaking on abuse and I began to think of the different types of abuse that people live in and God gave me this wonderful song. I entered it in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest that year, but never won.
Lyrics
Wake Up! Little girl lying asleep in her bed; her leg starts tinglin' just like it said, "Wake up! Save yourself! Get out of here - there's somethin' else - somethin' wrong - life isn't like this; brother's feelin' where he shouldn't touch sis - Wake up!" Little boy actin' rowdy in class. He doesn't answer what the teacher asks. Bruises galore that he gets at home; he's not clumsy like his daddy said on the phone. Wake up! Save yourself! Get out of here - there's somethin' else. Somethin's wrong; life isn't like this. Daddy's hittin' when he oughtta kiss. Wake up! Wake up and look around! Can't you see there's more to be found? You gotta free the secret kept in your soul to fill the void of that bottomless hole. Wake up! That woman never looks you straight in the eye. You pass it off thinkin' she must be shy. But, there's a haunting look, yet almost dead. She thinks she's nothin' like her husband said. Wake up! Save yourself! Get out of here; there's somethin' else. Somethin's wrong; life isn't like this. You can do anything with some confidence. Wake up! Young man hangin' out with so-called friends. Who stole what to get them high again? Where would they be if disease came to duel in your body and mind? Is that life so cool? Wake up! Save yourself! Get out of here; there's somethin' else. Somethin's wrong; life isn't like this. The treasures of life, you're about to miss. Wake up! Save yourself. Get out of here; there's somethin else. Somethin's wrong; life isn't like this. The treasures of life, you're about to miss. Wake up!
