Awake Lyrics by Lacy Wilder

I See Black Light

2017

[Verse 1]
Lived in a world where everything is beautiful
Ignorance only got me so far
When I let it slide and said
That's the way it is
It only added to how bad things are
But now I'm awake
[Verse 2]
Opened my eyes to all the oppression
How people are silenced for color and love
And I never realized how much I'm privileged
I guess you never can grow
Living inside a box
Now I'm awake
[Chorus]
Ignorance is bliss
But it's not power
You can't change the world if you're asleep
Because in our minds we hold the future
Starts when we wake up
Now I'm awake
[Verse 3]
I noticed the world was teaching me hatred
Told me to be quiet and stay in my place
And I got so tired of being an object
Like some decoration
A prize to be won
But now I'm awake
[Chorus]
Ignorance is bliss
But it's not power
You can't change the world if you're asleep
Because in our minds we hold the future
Starts when we wake up
Now I'm awake
[Bridge]
So every day I'll speak my mind
Paving the way to a better life
And I'll trade my ignorance for strength
I wanna shake the world awake
Awake
