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.
Chorus:
When you gonna wake up,
when you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
and strengthen the things that remain?
Counterfeit philosophies
have polluted all of your thoughts.
Karl Marx has got ya by the throat,
Henry Kissinger's got you tied up in knots.
chorus
You got innocent men in jail,
your insane asylums are filled,
You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs
that'll never cure your ills.
chorus
You got men who can't hold their peace and
women who can't control their tongues,
The rich seduce the poor and the
old are seduced by the young.
chorus
Adulterers in churches and pornography
in the schools,
You got gangsters in power and
lawbreakers making rules.
chorus
Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide
your every move,
Instant inner peace and every step you
take has got to be approved.
chorus
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?
You think He's just an errand boy
to satisfy your wandering desires.
chorus
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.
chorus
There a Man on a cross and
He's been crucified for you,
Believe in His power, that's
about all you got to do.
