lyrics

[Verse 1]
These buildings have no purpose anymore
Other than to obstruct my view
The powerplant smoke clouds billow up and up
Is this what rains on me and you?

[Chorus]
Are you sleeping?
Are you awake?
Brother, do you wish that things would change?

[Verse 2]
These people have no faces and no names
Only to the ones who they hold dear
Cars drive by with nowhere to go
I wish I knew what they knew while I'm here

[Chorus 2]
I'm knee-deep in
I'm slowly falling faint
Brother, do you hope that this will change?
Brother do you hope those things will change?

[Verse 3]
This place is so black and white to me
Today is full of ambiguity
Chemicals just exposing half a page
Not revealing everything I've seen

[Bridge]
Sometimes I choke
Sometimes the smoke fills my lungs
Sometimes I can not see the sun
Though it's shining I just need to open my eyes

[Chorus 3]
Now, I'm weeping but I'm not afraid
Brother, do you know that things will change?
Are you sleeping?
Are you awake?
Brother, do you know?
Brother, do you know that things will change?
