Words by Bob Hartman Based on Romans 13:11, Isaiah 60:1
Whoa, sleeping the night away Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day We're under the spell of disunity When will this giant awake and stand and be free Now the hour has come To awaken and redeem the time given to the night Curse this darkness and stand in the light
(Chorus) Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong? The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial Each time we sleep through an inch we're losing a mile We will get this rude awakening to reality And arise in unity
It's been dark for so long night is almost gone Always darkest before the dawn Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring Do you feel it?
