"Being blessed to live in this great country, I penned Wake Up
America because, I sensed a marked shift, and a lack of
understanding and appreciation for what this country truly stands
for. I sincerely hope this song inspires reflection, thought, and a
sense of duty and honor to the past sacrifices that has made
possible what we as Americans share today." Tyrone DeVillasee
