Bernard Snyder - 'Wake Up', People

There's a tragedy all around us
everywhere we seem to turn,
we hear of thousands of people being killed
tons of acres being burned,
we now have cruise lines constantly sinking
at such an alarming rate,
we try to get our answers on Sundays
but even our pastor is losing faith,
we're fighting in this crazy war
which I don't think we'll ever win,
we try to take our kids to dinner
but the prices at the gas pump keeps us in,
we now have Earthquakes ripping through China
Tsunamis and Cyclones burying Japan
yet your biggest fear of all is
the reality of America being led by a black man
