Come To Attention

Lyrics: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, David MacKay
Music: Donna Jean Godchaux-MacKay, David MacKay

(Wake up) come to attention
Time is running
(Wake up) feelings of comfort
Can dim the sight
(Wake up) let comprehension
Come front and centre
(Wake up) shake off that slumber
And sharpen the eye

(Wake up) come to attention
Tune the hearing
(Wake up) flattering voices
Can snare the soul
(Wake up) artful inventions
Reset the thinking
(Wake up) what good are choices
Staged by control?

But we are having so much fun
Living it up
So much fun, having it all
So much fun
And getting away with it
So much fun

(Wake up) come to attention
The tide is turning
(Wake up) much hesitation
Can take us out
(Wake up) waved of declension
Pull down and under
(Wake up) shore up, oh nation
And turn about

But we are having so much fun
Living it up
So much fun, having it all
So much fun
And getting away with it
So much fun, but down the road
Yes, the way that seems so right
A heavy load will hit us
Right between the eyes
Should we not arise
Now is the time to arise
Now is the time

(Wake up) come to attention
Time is running
(Wake up) feelings of comfort
Can dim the sight
(Wake up) let comprehension
Come front and centre
(Wake up) shake off that slumber
And sharpen the eye

Come to attention
Come to attention
Now is the time to wake up
