You should know better than to wait so long
Who said the world will be here right after you're gone
You should know better than to take so long
Better make up your mind or watch it all be gone

Now the time has come to help set things right
Let's make it worth our
Make it worth our while
Now our time has come to make some things right
Raising empires

All, all night long
Wake up mama tell me what's on your mind
Tell me what's on your mind
Wake up mama tell me what's on your mind
