One of the Lost Songs

From pranks, to protests
To sustainable community projects
From soup kitchens, to direct action
Education and sabotage
It’s all about waking people up
'Cause we’ve all been put to sleep
By this monotonous lullaby
Yeah, we’ve all been fooled
By those sugar coated lies
When we’re little kids
Maybe we need stories to help us go to sleep
But sooner or later
We need stories to wake us up
Hey, wake up, nap’s over
We wake up, each of us
Dreaming ourselves into existence
We become the poem
We become the song
Each of us is the story
Happiness depends
On how well we tell it
(Utah Phillips)
'Cause we’ve all been put to sleep
By this monotonous lullaby
Yeah, we’ve all been fooled
By those sugar coated lies
And their cheating crooked smiles
