[Verse 1]
There's a shadow washing over our heads
As our eyes go back to sleep again
While the future's fading, the future's fading
In the light we build a world of darkness
Lost in our own ignorance
While the fire's raging, a fire's raging
Wake up

[Chorus]
When the world awakens we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one then we could start again
When the world awakens, when the world awakes

[Verse 2]
Scorched the earth of mother nature
As we slip beneath the water's edge
While the future's fading, the future's fading
Will we blindly walk in through the doorway
Like cattle to the slaughtering?
While a fire's raging, a fire

[Chorus]
When the world awakens we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one then we could start again
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
[Bridge]
Enough of this world's been slippin' through our hands
Been slippin' through our
Enough of this world's been slippin' through our hands
Been slippin' through our hands

[Chorus]
When the world awakens we can begin
When the world awakens, when the world awakes
If the world was one then we could start again
When the world awakens, when the world awakes

[Outro]
Enough of this world's been slippin' through our hands
Been slippin' through our
Enough of this world's been slippin' through our hands
Been slippin' through our hands
