Sunday Song Lyric:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_03_04-2007_03_10.shtml#1173063569
As it turns out, my [1]unprofessional, uninformed Best Song Oscar
prediction was wrong. Melissa Etheridge's "I Need to Wake Up" from Al
Gore's An Inconvenient Truth beat out Randy Newman's "Our Town" from
Cars. I prefer Melissa Etheridge's earlier work -- and I'm hardly an
Al Gore fan -- but this is the one that won the Oscar, so here's a
taste of the lyrics.
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
Etheridge performed the song [2]live at the Academy Awards. [3]Her
website has more, including a [4]discography.
