The seeds grow slowly under the surface
They thrive where it is damp, dark and cold
Only when the leaves start to appear
you can see that there are weeds everywhere
But if you look away< br/>nothing heard, nothing seen
how do you know
Because if you hear nothing, surely nothing exists
And what you don't see, surely doesn't exist
In March, you still have time
You can take it before the buds break out
But if you leave it until the summer's over
Then it has grown over your head in the end
I today the racists take one
Tomorrow maybe they take two
They took France by storm
Who knows when it's you, they give in
Wake up
Take courage
Start looking around
Don't be one of those
Who just stand there and watch
And say I didn't know anything
Every day new threats to our lives are born
Every morning the executioners get ready
In the darkness we close our eyes there they prepare for war
How can we fight if we don't realize the danger
Today you have work and pay
Tomorrow maybe you can go
The millions starving in the world outside
Standing just a little further down the same hole
Wake up
Take courage
Start to see you around
Don't be one of those
Who just stand there and watch
And say I didn't know anything
Most go with the flow if it goes
Most want I'd rather have peace and quiet
But if fascism creeps back
Then it's you and I who have to resist
The weeds grow and thrive
So sharpen and sharpen your knife
If you let it spread with the wind across the world
Will you be held responsible for your hesitation with your life
Wake up
Start looking around
Take courage
So you can tell your kids when they ask you
That you were one of those who resisted
