God don't make promises that He don't keep
|
You got some big dreams baby, but in order to dream you gotta still be asleep.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
Counterfeited philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts
|
Karl Marx has got ya by the throat, Henry Kissinger's got you tied up in knots.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums are filled
|
You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that'll never cure your ills.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
You got men who can't hold their peace and woman who can't control their tongues
|
The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced by the young.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
Adulterers in churches and pornography in the schools
|
You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making rules.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every move
|
Instant inner peace and every step you take has got to be approved.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
Do you ever wonder just what God requires ?
|
You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
You can't take it with you and you know that it's too worthless to be sold
|
They tell you, 'Time is money' as if your life was worth its weight in gold.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain ?
|
|
There's a man up on a cross and He's been crucified for you
|
Believe in His power that's about all you got to do.
|
|
When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up
|
When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things that remain ?
|
