Gather around while I'll explain
On what goes on when it gets late
Not long till midnight, it's 5-to-12
Get together and be yourself
There's people out there bothering
Some have fears, some wondering
Some black, some white
Some tall, some thin
Doesn't matter what kind of skin

Go wake up, make other plans
Go wake up, reach our hands
Go wake up, don't be blind
Go wake up, just be kind
Go wake up, know your rights
Go wake up, get up and fight
Go wake up
Go wake up

There's people out there bothering
Some have fears, some wondering
Some black, some white
Some tall, some thin
Doesn't matter what kind of skin
Don't stop to figure out a plan
Don't negotiate with a fearing man
Don't close your eyes
Step in the spotlight

Go wake up, make other plans
Go wake up, reach our hands
Go wake up, don't be blind
Go wake up, just be kind
Go wake up, know your rights
Go wake up, get up and fight
Go wake up
Go wake up

Now gather around while I'll explain
On what goes on when it gets late
Not long till midnight, it's 5-to-12
Get together and be yourself
There's people out there bothering
Some have fears, some wondering
Some black, some white
Some tall, some thin
Doesn't matter what kind of skin

Go wake up, make other plans
Go wake up, reach our hands
Go wake up, don't be blind
Go wake up, just be kind
Go wake up, know your rights
Go wake up, get up and fight
Go wake up
Go wake up

Go wake up

Go wake up
Go wake up
