Lyrics Darryl Worley

Darryl Worley

Wake Up America

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

I'm just a small town, I have no tongue to speak

I have no arms to hold them

While they're dying in my streets

So I have to wonder, does anybody care

Lord is there any hope out there

Wake up America, I got a problem

Venom flowing through my veins

I see families torn to pieces

By crystal meth and crack cocaine

Some of those swore to provide us with protection

Just turn their backs and cut a deal with the infection

All those years I gave them peaceful sanctuary

Now I'm a graveyard, where the innocent are buried

Lord, is there any hope out there

Oh, is there any hope out there

Wake up America, I got a problem

I got a problem

It's like venom flowing through my veins
