Don't Wait.
Activate!

Don't wait.  Activate!
Make the world start spinning in a different
direction.

Don't wait. Activate!

Open up your arms and let your wings take
flight.

Don't wait. Activate!

A small world, after all, needs your
protection.

Don't wait. Activate!

'Cause other kids at night can't see the
light.

They named the Coast for Ivory, and not the
elephant.

It's all about what's bought and sold, and not the life
that's spent.

They brought me here at six years old to pick the cocoa
bean,

it hurts too much to think of home, for years I haven't
seen.

I ran away but I got caught, as punishment, they cut my
feet.

I had to work while my feet healed; with every step,
they'd bleed.

Where's my mother? Where's my father? Where's someone
who cares for me?

What's meant to be is meant to be, but will this be my
destiny?

(Don't wait, etc. Softly)

They lock us in a room to sleep together on the
ground.

I listen to the rain until it doesn't make a sound.

One by one, the stars slip by a hole too high to
climb

I name each star and make a wish to see another
time.

A time when children play and learn, when no one's left
to cry alone,

When no one's bought and no one's sold and no one's far
from home.

A time when profits bought with lives are something no
one understands,

A time when kids all use the change for good that's in
our hands. 

(Don't wait, etc. Gets louder. Follows
with:)

Nestle, Hershey, M&M, kids are not for
sale.

Keep your chocolate, give us freedom, kids are not for
sale.

Dove, Godiva, Haagen-Daaz, kids are not for
sale.

You stole our lives without a price, kids are not for
sale.

Nestle, Hershey, M&M, help keep all kids
safe.

Give us choices, give them childhood, help keep all kids
safe.

Dove, Godiva, Haagen-Daaz, time is getting
late.

Let's work together to make it better, time is getting
late, DON'T WAIT!
