Wake Up and Live (1979-07-21 Harvard) Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

One, two, three, four

Wake up and live, y′all
Wake up and live
Wake up and live now

Wake up and live
Life is one big road with lots of signs
So when you riding through the ruts
Don't you complicate your mind

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don′t bury your thoughts
Put your vision to reality, yeah

All together now
Wake up and live (wake up and live, y'all)
Wake up and live (wake up and live)
Wake up and wake up and live, yeah (wake up and live now)
Wake up and wake up and live (wake up and live)


Rise, ye mighty people, yeah
There's work to be done
So let′s do it a little by little
Rise from your sleepless slumber
Yes, yeah, yes, yeah
We′re more than sand on the seashore
We're more than numbers

All together now
Wake up and live now, y′all
(Wake up and live) wake up and live
Wake up and live, y'all
(Wake up and live) wake up and live now

You see, one one cocoa full a basket
Already used you life big today
Tomorrow you buried in a casket
One, one cocoa full a basket, yeah, yes
When they use you life big today
Tomorrow you bury in a casket


Woah, all together now
(Wake up and live now) wake up and live, oh yeah
(Wake up and live) uh
(Wake up and live now) wake up and live
(Wake up and live) keep on playing!
(Wake up and live, y′all) uh, yeah, yeah
(Wake up and live)
(Wake up and live now)
(Wake up and live) break it down

Come on, man!
How is it feelin' over there?
(Wake up and live now) all right!
(Wake up and live) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh
Come on, man
You gotta wake up and live!

Life is one big road with lots of signs, yes
So when you riding through the ruts
Don′t you complicate your mind

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts
Put your dream to reality, yeah
Woah, all together now

(Wake up and live, y'all)
(Wake up and live) wake up and live, yeah
(Wake up and live now)
(Wake up and live)
Wake up and live now
(Wake up and live)
Wake up and live now
Wake up and live
