Arcade Fire › Lyrics › Wake Up

Somethin' filled up my heart with nothin'
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older, my heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

Children wake up, hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up, our bodies get bigger
But our hearts get torn up

We're just a million little
God's causin' rain
Storms turnin' every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin' to be
When the reaper he reaches
And touches my hand

With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’
With my lighnin' bolts a glowin'
I can see where I am goin’

You'd better look out below
