Darryl Worley - Wake Up America lyrics

rate me

Wake up America I got a problem

something you may not believe

there is poison in the darkness

spreading like a bad disease

i never thought I'd find myself in this condition

sitting by while children die from their addictions

(Chorus:)

I'm just a small town i have no tongue to speak

i have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets

So I have to wonder does any body care.

Lord is there any hope out there?

Wake up America I got a problem

Venom flowing thru my veins

I see families town to pieces

By crystal meth and crack cocaine

Some of those sworn to provide us with protection

Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection

(Chorus:)

I'm just a small town i have no tongue to speak

i have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets

So I have to wonder does any body care.

Lord is there any hope out there?

all those years i gave them peaceful sanctuary

now I'm a grave yard where the innocent are buried

(Chorus:)

I'm just a small town i have no tongue to speak

i have no arms to hold them while their dying in my streets

So I have to wonder does any body care.

Lord is there any hope out there?

Lord is there any hope out there?

Oh is there any hope out there?

wake up America i got a problem

[fading out]

i got a problem

it's like venom flowing thru my veins
