Where did it start? Why? But what does it matter? We're far beyond the place that we started No time or mind to chase after fault When we know the time is so much of what's lost To a child born something with something so wrong In his blood, a sickness, that pumps through his veins, through his heart And shameful, if we only start when we know that it sleeps in a box in the dirt, oh
Where did it start?
Dare we try and wade through this muddy water Fill this ocean of need, bottle by bottle Hollowed we stand and watch this parade Saturday morning down to the graves, oh
Somebody save us Somebody stand up This can't be the way, something must change Somebody save us How many more does it take?
Somebody save us Somebody stand up This can't be the way, something must change Somebody save us How many more will it take?
Somebody save us Somebody stand up This can't be the way, something must change Somebody save us How many more will it take?
Where did it start? When does it stop?
I don't want to get this wrong Don't you see what's going on? I don't want to turn you away Until you know what's at stake I don't want to get this wrong Don't you see what's going on? I don't want to turn you away Until you know what's at stake Wake up!
Wake up!
