Woke Up A Scientist
He wakes up and gets out of bed
And gets on the bus to school
There’s something new burning in his mind
He knows what he has to do
Help us change the course we’re on
’Cause we’ve been stuck at the point of no return
He’s searching his inner sky
For a sign of life
Hoping hope still exists
He woke up a scientist

He puts all his graphs and charts
Into a leather-bound briefcase
He packs up his microscope
And puts on his game face
He’s gonna speak at the Academy
To prove his hypothesis is true
That we’re losing this human race
Unless we mend all of our mistakes
Hoping hope still exists
He woke up a scientist
But the grownups don’t understand
They’re too afraid of being hurt again
They don’t believe what they can’t see
They can’t see what they don’t believe
So many tried that came before
They all thought they had a cure
But apathy was their only plan
They never really gave a damn

And every night when he goes to bed
So many thoughts rush through his head
Like where the hell will we be tomorrow
How do we stem
This constant flow of sorrow
Does anybody care or is this just a jest
I will remember today
He woke up a scientist
I will always remember today
He woke up a scientist
