Wake Up

Belinda Richmond 1979 (Chicago)

Wake Up, Make Haste

Just Look Around.

Pay Attention to What’s

About to go Down.



Wake Up, Look Alive

Don’t Fall Asleep,

You Might Miss Out

On Something So Deep.



Wake Up, Wake Up

Wipe the Sleep from your Eyes.

These Are the Many Days

Of Our Lives.



Wake Up, Stay Awake

Or You Might Miss Out.

Of the meaning of Life and

What its All About.
