Queridinha dos Estados Unidos, a jovem cantora Miley Cyrus, acostumada a fazer músicas sobre as típicas preocupações adolescentes, mostrou que também é engajada com a canção “Wake up, America”, que aparece em seu segundo álbum, Breakout.
Na música, a eterna Hannah Montana pede que os humanos tenham consideração e poupem a Terra da sua ganância e sede de destruição. “Estamos todos juntos nisso, é a nossa casa, então vamos cuidar dela”, canta Miley. Ela também diz que cuidar do planeta é um trabalho de cooperação, se um faz, os outros também vão se atentar. O nome da canção é “Acorde, América”, mas o recado, na verdade, serve para todas as nações.
Wake up, America – Miley Cyrus
Oh, oh
Can you take care of her
Oh, oh
Maybe you can spare her
Several moments
Of your consideration
Leading up
To the final destination
Oh, oh
The Earth is calling out
I wanna learn
What it’s all about
But everything I read’s
Global warming, going green
I don’t know what all
This means
But it seems to be saying
Wake up America
We’re all in this together
It’s our home
So let’s take care of it
You know that you want to
You know that you got to
Wake up America
Tomorrow becomes a new day
And everything you do matters
Yeah everything
You do matters in some way
Stand up
I’ll try if you will
Wake up
It’s not a fire drill
All she needs
Is a little attention
Can you give her
Just a little attention?
Uh, oh
It’s easy to look away
But it’s getting harder
Day-by-day
Everything I read’s
Global warming going green
I don’t know what all
This means
But it seems to be saying
(Come on!)
Wake up America
We’re all in this together
It’s our home
So let’s take care of it
You know that you want to
You know that you got to
Wake up America
Tomorrow becomes a new day
And everything you do matters
Yeah everything you do matters
In some way
I know that you
Don’t want to hear it
Especially coming
From someone so young
But in the back seat
Yeah
They want to hear it
(They want to hear it)
So come on
(Turn it up)
Come on
(Turn it up)
So come on
(Turn it up)
