Awaken sleeper, you're in peril
Refuse to dream any longer
Or you will discover
You've traded excellence for a lie
You prefer whatever is new
You've lost the world you dream of
Replaced by machines so sterile
Destroying the dreams so fragile
Nothing remains but residue
We've lost our agency
Lost the driving power of hunger
We now follow a different path
Leading us to abandon love
For a chance at something else
A pursuit that is easier
And death can be quick
But if you sleep forever
You will lose sight of joy
For what matters our existence
If it flits about in fantasy
It is time to rise and deliver
A new world shares the space
Of a world that is dying and old
Waiting to be born by dreams
When every waking mind embraces
The future bright, the past so cold
We have to keep moving, learning
Or we will be stagnant, indolent
Fools and the ignorant
Choosing to live without purpose
Only random circumstance
