Lyrics: Mustafa Ahmed
Music: Simon Hessman/Adam Feeney/Mickey Newbury
Don't crease your Air Forces
Just stay inside tonight
You know what's happening outside
You say it's okay
But you touch your chain
Like if they take it
I won't see you for a while
And I tell you how I feel
In case it's the last time
You know the odds
You know the flaws
It's all by design
And you'll go anywhere
Though it ain't safe
Just know that I care
I'll always care
And I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
And all these intersections
Where we've been kept and left in
I wonder why God keeps us alive
To what are we even destined?
Will we have wives and children?
Or is that not written for you and I
You know they want what's yours
And they want what's mine
And if we're too holy
They'll think we're folding
They don't want us to climb
And you'll go anywhere
Though it ain't safe
Just know that I care
I'll always care
And I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
I'll be awake
