Darryl Worley Wake Up America Lyrics

Wake Up America Lyrics

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
