AWAKE

One man awake can awaken another,

The second can awaken his next door neighbor.

Three awake can rouse the town,

And turn the whole place upside down.

And many awake can raise such a fuss,

That it finally awakens the rest of us.

One man up with dawn in his eyes,

Multiplies.

Lawrence Tribble

"A nation of well informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins." Benjamin Franklin

Remember only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: JESUS CHRIST and the AMERICAN ARMED FORCES.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom-Unk

That's been my forum signature for over a year 8)

Agree that its a great sentiment that explains bailing.
One Man awake, Awakens another. The second awakens  His next-door brother.
The three awake can rouse a town. By turning the whole place upside down.

The many awake can make such a fuss. It finally awakens the rest of us.
One man up, with dawn in his eyes, Surely then, Multiplies. Lawrence Trib
