Explanation of THE MESSAGE of the WAKE UP ALBUM from a radio show.

Born In A Hue Of Blue
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

Even on the first day,
I had determined my hue.
Nobody had to touch me,
I knew to cry the blues.My momma had the blues.
You know, my dad did, too.
One was a starving artist,
The other didn’t know what to do!

I have been through the wringer, it’s true,
Through every color that you can do.
You can’t begin to know what I’ve been through,
Guess I was born in a hue of blue.

Born in a hue of blue.

Breaking Day
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

If I could, I’d spend more time
Manifesting my own way.
But a system I did not design
Keeps causing me to pay.
It won’t pay its own way.
It bends my breaking day!

If you think anything can change,
The status quo’s gotta be rearranged.
Gotta start while I stand in place,
Gonna meet these issues face to face to face!

Now I know I’m gonna spend more time
Manifesting my own way.
Bust a system I did not design
By refusing to play,
I won’t pave evil’s way,
(I’ll) Create my breaking day!

Bifurcating reality,
Differential harmony,
Hear it roar at a planet’s pace,
Peace on Earth gonna be right in your face!

Sacrificed Self
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

Woke up inside a tornado,
Winds blow, lies grow.
Found myself with only silver shoes;
Never red, now got the blues.

Journey began with a straw man.
Buy him back, if you can.
Best ignore the no-heart tin man.
Steroids ruined him.

All I’m after is a handful of real wealth,
Not this stuff that evildoers create with stealth,
Not the chemicals designed to ruin my health,
Just a bone to atone for a sacrificed self.

Then I found what was a brave man,
But only in his mind.
Follow gold in every way you can.
Truth there, is what you’ll find.

All I’m after is a handful of real wealth,
Not this stuff that evildoers create with stealth,
Not the chemicals designed to ruin my health,
Just a bone to atone for a sacrificed self.

Wake Up
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

Does it seem like your dream of paradise
Just got julienned before your eyes?

Too much assault is not good for your heart.
In that drama, you should not take part.
Wake Up! It’s gonna be alright.

When it seems you can not find the floor,
Ask someone who’s been here long before.

Truth is hidden firmly from your sight
Zoom back and step up to see the light.
Watch but don’t you be consumed in flight
Wake Up! It’s gonna be alright!

Open Your Eyes
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

This has been a great beginning.
I sure don’t want it all to end.

I don’t want to be that guy
That breaks the news that makes you cry

No other way that I have tried
Will ease the pain you feel inside
You asked the where, the what, the why,
That’s what happens when you open your eyes.

Curiosity killed the cat.
Candyland is gone just like that.

I don’t want to be that guy
That breaks the news that makes you cry

No other way that I have tried
Will ease the pain you feel inside
You asked the where, the what, the why,
That’s what happens when you open your eyes.

When you open your eyes (the truth comes in)
There can be no disguise (the good guys win)
Bust away the lies (now we can begin)
When you open your eyes.

When you open your eyes (the truth comes in)
There can be no disguise (the good guys win)
Bust away the lies (now we can begin)
When you open your eyes.

We sure had a great beginning.
Don’t let them win it in the end.

Much More
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

Toes in the sand I gazed across the waves
A vision happened and my time stream was re-phased:
In Middle Ages as the king ruled by the sword,
The fear was massive and poverty gripped the Hoards,
But something drove the people’s spirit that wouldn’t die.

They wanted more, much more.

I shook my head trying to clear the timeline fog,
Opened my eyes only to see the smog
That billowed out toxic poison across the land,
As a select few people took advantage and
Turned on humanity ensuring they would die.

They wanted more, much more.

Hoping that this would not be our final fate,
A focused mind to the future I did concentrate,
And what I saw was people sharing all they had,
A love that banished the need to seek out the bad.
The people found without fear you don’t have to die.

There’s much more, much more.

What Would You Do?
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

A man and his wife at night, you see,
Sleeping oh, so peacefully,
When there was a flash, and then a bang.
The door blew in, but no doorbell rang,

He planned to defend his family,
But never thought that this could be,
No time to think, just time to do.
Did he choose right? What would you do?

The day before right in the news,
He read about a string of abuse.
The wrong address, the boots came in
More innocent lives came to an end.

Now barrels flashing in the night,
He fought the foe with all his might.
It will be in the morning news,
Did he choose right? What would you do?

What would you do?

Don’t Come For My Gun
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

I’ve seen dumb, and seen dumber and they either wear an R or a D.
Gave up, on cable ‘cause you know there ain’t nothin’ to see.
Real people, with cameras have become the only truth on TV
It’s a shame, ‘cause who’s to blame is the biggest criminality.

Contracts, were made to protect what the Creator gave
Wars fought, sides bought by those who buy and sell the slave
Lies told, face-bold to the ones to be convinced they’re brave
Once more, that few selects the kids to fill the graves.

Well, I learned history from grandpa.
There’s one thing that he knew for sure.
Don’t piss-off a grizzly bear that’s sleepin’.
And he said, “Don’t come for my gun, and I won’t shoot ya.”

Common sense, with my rifle means to give it the respect that it needs.
Gun control, with my pistol means I hit the target and the clip feeds.
My rights, from my Creator are a no conditions guarantee,
No need, to push the limit and find out why that’s America’s Creed.

I made, that promise to the Constitution and what it means.
I pledged, an oath to allow for what my grandkid will dream.
If I, don’t have tomorrow, I know they’ll find my Browning is clean.
Don’t come for my gun if you think that I ain’t all that I seem.

Well, I learned history from grandpa.
There’s one thing that he knew for sure.
Don’t piss-off a grizzly bear that’s sleepin’.
And he said, “Don’t come for my gun…”

Screwed up our money
Dumbed down our kids
there’s MK-ULTRA
AIDS and SIDS
Chemtrail clouds
GMO foods
You call that health CARE?
Can’t say “gun”?!

It’s your rights, that I fight for, together we will not have to run.
Your house, your spouse, protect against wherever they’re from.
Foreign, and domestic are the two types of enemy scum.
In short, I won’t shoot ya if you don’t come for my gun.

Well, I learned history from grandpa.
There’s one thing that he knew for sure.
Don’t piss-off a grizzly bear that’s sleepin’.
And he said, “Don’t come for my gun, and I won’t have t’ do ya in.”

Enough Is Enough
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

A wise man once said, “Don’t waste time.”
Get to the message, begin your rhyme.
Stand your ground, your moral rules.
Ignore the drivel from the public tools.

Learn the truth, it’s all been lies.
The revelation is before your eyes!

And I’m wonderin’ if it’s time to call the bluff.
Start’ to thinking that the road looks rough.
I’m analyzing and things look tough.
Got to decide when enough is enough.

I hear the stories, of an older time
And read the memoirs of a country’s prime.
Is it dead?

And I’m wonderin’ if it’s time to call the bluff.
Start’ to thinking that the road looks rough.
I’m analyzing and things look tough.
Still got to decide when enough is enough.

I’m a Wond’rin’ if it’s time to call the bluff.
Started to thinking that the road looks rough.
I’m Analyzing, and things look tough.
Got to decide when enough is enough.

New American Anthem
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

YEAH! While Mom and Dad were asleep
A group of men in occult (way deep)
Stole their wealth while the media swayed,
Lulled to sleep by the mantra “USA!, USA!”

Buildings falling, planes disappearing,
Unknowns growing and liberties yielding.
We’ve pulled the curtain back and seen who’s who,
Once again it’s the familiar few.

Masses aren’t getting fooled it’s true
When a false flag comes in view.
The guilty party isn’t someone new.
We the People start to sing a new American Anthem.

Terrorism is the bogey man.
While they yell it as loud as they can,
Everybody’s seeing through the plan
Now, we’ve begun to sing a new American Anthem.

Patiently waiting for the crippling blow,
Firmly expecting invading UFOs.

But the love of the people, and their innate balance with nature
Can defeat 3,500 years of bullying and oppression.
While 85 people have the same wealth as 3.5 billion combined,
The power of 3.5 billion minds in focus can change all that.
Listen now, as the cries of millions in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia ring out,
Their homes destroyed, their infrastructure decimated,
And all this for Corporate energy profit?
The technology exists for each to create the energy we need at home.

YEAH! Masses aren’t getting fooled it’s true
When a false flag comes in view.
The guilty party isn’t someone new.
We the People start to sing a new American Anthem.

Terrorism is the bogey man.
While they yell it as loud as they can,
Everybody’s seeing through the plan
Now, we’ve begun to sing a new American Anthem.

Last Man Standing
by Kevin W. Smith and Michael Macpherson

He wanders through the nighttime,
The darkness and the mire.
He stumbles through the void,
And searches for the fire.

The light isn’t out there
And the tunnel’s disappeared.
His ears hear only silence,
As the silence softly jeers.

Trapped between what was and isn’t
In a place where time don’t even visit.
No logic to before or later,
As to himself, he asks, “Who is it?”

He’s the last man standing.
He proved that he could do it.
Calamities, catastrophes,
He still got through it.

What mattered doesn’t matter,
Energy’s in the wind.
The speed of thought is greater,
And it took away all his friends.

There is nothing all around his
Nothing self to see.
It really doesn’t matter when,
All that is, is energy.

Trapped between what was and isn’t
In a place where time don’t even visit.
No logic to before or later,
As to himself, he asks, “Who is it?”

He’s the last man standing.
He proved that he could do it.
Calamities, catastrophes,
He still got through it.


The DO SOMETHING album, released in 2020, is the followup with the solutions the average person can use to solve the problems identified in the Wake Up album. For a complete disclosure on the meanings of the lyrics, see Wake Up And Do Something – the Book.

Don’t Call Me A Liar
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

Whenever I post a word or two,
You poke your head out of your office cube.
You don’t have one good thing to say,
But I’ll have to defend myself anyway.

Don’t you call me a liar
When you can’t speak the truth.
Now you have started a fire
Without a pinch of proof.
I am just trying to inspire
And you go through the roof
The more people start to inquire
The more the truth comes through.

Ad hominem ad infinitum in spades
Attacking me won’t get you accolades.
Why don’t you read what is actually there,
Then sans insanity we could get somewhere.

Trolls aren’t pleasant throughout history.
And you’re no different it seems to me.
Oblivious to the covert crimes,
As you type out your handler’s prepared lines.

Q (Where We Go One, We Go All)
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

One or more actors have donned the handle, Q
They post great inside scoop that I love to review.
With TV honor gone, to cable I said “bye.”
My joy from news is through delivery from inside.

White House pictures they reveal,
40k indictments to unseal,
Criminality repealed,
Gitmo don’t have fancy meals!

Q Where we go one, we go all.
Q Trust the plan, because the bad guys’ gonna fall!
Q Let me reiterate for those new to the call,
Where we go one, we go all!

DS in brackets, the stream does focus on.
Changing authenticity to keep the hackers gone.
Photos and evidence from levels way up high,
While fake news characters deny, deny, deny!

The Anons argue, as people often do,
But time will tell, as the data comes in view.
Initials replace names, our dictionary grows,
And with a BOOM we realize how deep it goes!

White House pictures they reveal,
40k indictments to unseal,
Criminality repealed,
Gitmo don’t have fancy meals!

Q Where we go one, we go all.
Q Trust the plan, because the bad guys’ gonna fall!
Q Future proves the past, in the hallowed DC halls.
Gonna kick the DeepState right in the cabals.
Right in the cabals!

Fake News
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

Everyone’s an actor, everyone’s a star.
It’s the optics that makes the guy or gal go far.
Forget all the culture, forget all the couth.
Push the agenda, no witnesses, no proof.

AB CB NB FO MS CN all dis-info.

Sources unnamed, and places unsaid,
If it leaks out early, we’ll surely be dead.
What fake news has missed, is their game of go-fish
Is being well-countered with 4D space chess.

Fake news, fake news
All that we’re getting is propaganda views.
Fake news, fake news
Why can’t you tell us some truth?

Gotta go to jail, for us you broke the law?
Our lawyers’ are all paid; so you’ll be out tomorrow.
Go on break some windows, set a car on fire.
Cause the Constitution must itself retire.

AB CB NB FO MS CN all dis-info.

No it doesn’t matter, what is good or fair.
Levels we will stoop to, goes beyond compare.
Never mind stock holders, and the bottom line.
Foreign corporations make sure we do fine.

Fake news, fake news
All that I see is a deep state review
Fake news, fake news
All that we see is the spew from fake news

Shadowbanned
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

I see you followed me last week by notification.
But your email the next month said ‘no publication.
Something done in the middle was a rights infraction.
And now I think it’s time that we took some action!

My free speech is not up for retraction
And now I’m getting set for karmic satisfaction
Is there a way that we can throw our weight around,
So that our rights are kept from going 6 feet underground?

I’ve been shadowbanned.
I’ve been shadowbanned.

Why should you have to follow every single day
Just to be sure that you receive what I say?
I have a big red X or two beside my name.
These are actions taken against my domain.

My free speech is not up for retraction
And now I’m getting set for karmic satisfaction
Is there a way that we can throw our weight around,
So that our rights are kept from going 6 feet underground? 

I’ve been shadowbanned.
I’ve been shadowbanned.

When corporations become monopoly creations,
Jeopardy to what is reverent’s the situation.

My free speech is not up for retraction
And now I’m getting set for karmic satisfaction
Is there a way that we can throw our weight around,
So that our rights are kept from going 6 feet underground?

A focus to alternatives becomes the solution,
(I’ve been shadowbanned)
Competition keeps alive the Constitution.
(I’ve been shadowbanned).

Story Behind The Story
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

What’s the truth behind the veil?
I want to know, I need to know.
What’s the story behind the story?
Those who know, don’t want us to know!

I got this splinter in my brain
Won’t leave the story alone again.
Witness words hit deaf ears
While media amplifies our fears.
Guys in black escape today
While the patsy gets a multi-year stay.

Do they think we don’t see?
The dots practically scream to me!
This all happened before.
It’s gonna end in a civil war
If we don’t put the brakes on now.
Our culture gone, anyhow.
Can we afford delay?
People get for what they pay!

What’s the truth behind the veil?
I want to know, I need to know.
What’s the story behind the story?
Those who know, don’t want us to know!

All I’m asking of you
Is just tell me the truth
Do you think me a child?
I have the right!

Do Something
© Michael Macpherson 2018 – All Rights Reserved

Mad about Face-y Book in your bed,
Close your account, write a letter instead.
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

You’re tired of the old-school news,
Cut the cable, and get some sensible views,
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

If a sponsor leaves a show you like,
Because of PC’s common cultural blight,
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

Let our voice be heard out loud.
We know what’s right; to that we’re vowed.
We have the higher moral ground,
And use the Dollar, Euro, Yen, and Pound.

So let’s DO SOMETHING
We gotta DO SOMETHING

Politicians wreck the land,
Vote ’em all out, wouldn’t that be grand?
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

If machines that count the votes are rigged,
Demand a paper ballot counting gig.
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

Deep State promotes only the slime?
Nominate a friend this time.
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

Our heads are up, we will not bow.
We’re making change, I’ll tell you how.
By conscious mind and spending trends
We can define how this will end.

Benz in France gets 60mpg
Buy it here you can’t get 33,
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

Cars on water have been run.
Why are we under petroleum thumb?
You’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

As servants we are told to hop,
It’s time the ancient slavery stops!
We’ve got to DO SOMETHING.

Death Murder Mayhem
© Michael Macpherson 2015 – All Rights Reserved

Every thought is a planted seed
In a field of energy.
All the things you’re manifesting
Are the things your mind invests in.

If peace is what we really are,
Why the corporation push for war?
Faces worried, looking so sincere,
The programming is very clear.

Death, Murder, Mayhem
It’s on the news
Death, Murder, Mayhem
Systemic abuse?
Death, Murder, Mayhem
Around me is nowhere near.
Death, Murder, Mayhem
Why am I supposed to fear?

Be afraid now and take this pill,
Pharma cure for every ill.
Forced injections on demand,
And transmitter for the back of your hand.

In a sea of mind pollution
Problem, Reaction, then their Solution.
Pass the word now, and sing the song
Times are changin’, it won’t be long.

Every thought is a planted seed
In a field of energy.
All the things you’re manifesting
Are the things your mind invests in.

In a sea of mind pollution
Problem, Reaction, then their Solution.
Pass the word now, and sing the song
Times are changin’, it won’t be long.

You Don’t Know Me (That’s Not My Name)
© Michael Macpherson 2014 – All Rights Reserved

I saw you hiding as I turned around,
Though it was just a blur.
You very rarely make the smallest sound,
But I know where you were.

Why can’t you leave me alone?
Why’d you deceive me?
You don’t know me.

You tried to twist what was reality
Now it don’t look the same.
When photoshopping criminality
You can’t give me the blame.

Why can’t you leave me alone?
Why’d you deceive me?
You don’t know me.

Who Capitalized on my lifetime?
Who Capitalized on my fame?
Who Capitalized on my privacy?
Who Capitalized my name?

That’s not my name.
It’s not my name.
It’s not my name.
Nobody is listening to me.

Great Awakening
© Michael Macpherson 2019 – All Rights Reserved

Right at the point when I met despair,
The networks useless and beyond repair,
Reality not matching what’s shown on the air,
I needed a great awakening.

All that is heard is a single agenda,
Controlled demolition like a flying Wallenda,
Everything righteous now supposed to offend ya.
We need a great awakening

Have you, have you, ever heard
A single positive word?
Or have you, only heard the alarm?
(Works like a charm)

When everything good is forsakening,
Stories told yet more fakening,
Alphabets now feeling a quakening,
As the people experience Awakening

Do you feel the shift in the air?
Two sets of rules so unfair?
Leaders fell to greed’s allure, global warfare;
It resulted in a great awakening.

When the masses realize the controllers, (are)
A few outside countries, States or borders…
Puppets use the same excuse, just following orders.
Here we are: the great awakening.
