En la reciente entrega de los oscares “An Inconvenient Truth” se llevo dos premios: el mejor documental y la mejor cancion: I Need to Wake Up de Melissa Etheridge. La pelicula nos toca el tema del calentamiento global y el infierno que nos espera si no despertamos y corregimos el rumbo, pero esta es solo una de muchas verdades inconvenientes que nos rehusamos a ver… aquí les dejo el vídeo y la letra de la canción ganadora.

Para la letra le el resto de la entrada.
Melissa Etheridge – I Need to Wake Up
Have I been sleeping?
I’ve been so still
Afraid of crumbling
Have I been careless?
Dismissing all the distant rumblings
Take me where I am supposed to be
To comprehend the things that I can’t see
Cause I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now
And as a child
I danced like it was 1999
My dreams were wild
The promise of this new world
Would be mine
Now I am throwing off the carelessness of youth
To listen to an inconvenient truth
That I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now
I am not an island
I am not alone
I am my intentions
Trapped here in this flesh and bone
And I need to move
I need to wake up
I need to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now
I want to change
I need to shake up
I need to speak out
Oh, Something’s got to break up
I’ve been asleep
And I need to wake up
Now
