In "Wake Up," Tarkan answers a plea from a wounded woman who compares herself to a bird with a broken wing, begging others to heal her pain before she falls. Her fear of being thrown into flames becomes a call for conscience, and the song turns that private hurt into a shared demand to stand together before time runs out. The steep road and mountains suggest that belief itself is the bridge across impossible odds. The emotional message is that collective courage and holding to what is right can turn suffering into strength.
Wake Up Lyrics by Tarkan
With tears in her eyes
She calls out to us all
Come heal this pain
Don’t let me fall
Like a bird with a broken wing
My heart is bleeding she says
Before you throw me into flames
Ask your conscience she says
You gotta wake up, you gotta stand up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Don’t say the road ahead is too steep
We’ll cross mountains if you believe
Wake up, wake up, my friend, wake up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Stand as one, we will achieve
Anything is possible if you believe
If you believe
That’s how it’s been and will be
Don’t let those words pull you in
Who knows? Maybe this is worth the fight
Hold to your truth, hold to what’s right
You gotta wake up, you gotta stand up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Don’t say the road ahead is too steep
We’ll cross mountains if you believe
Wake up, wake up, my friend, wake up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Stand as one, we will achieve
Anything is possible if you believe
if you believe
You gotta wake up, you gotta stand up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Don’t say the road ahead is too steep
We’ll cross mountains if you believe
Wake up, wake up, my friend, wake up
Put your hand on your heart before time is up
Stand as one, we will achieve
Anything is possible if you believe
