Wake Up
Wake Up
Verse 1
Morning
Is pushing her glory
Through the curtains of your window
Sunrise stories in light
So, rise and shine…
Morning
Is pushing her glory
Through the curtains of your window
Sunrise stories in light
So, rise and shine…
Chorus
Wake up
There’s no time to sleep
That voice in your head saying, “Rest, child, rest,”
Trample it to smithereens!
Wake up
Alarm clocks ring in stereo today
Verse 2
Holy code
Twisting on a dirty rope
Led out for a man-made parade
Alone, and crying
Verse 3
High noon
High priest in sweet perfume
Spreading petals from the last bloom
Of the last winter
I hear him, screaming,
Chorus
“Wake up
There’s no time to sleep
That voice in your head saying, ‘Rest, child, rest,’
Trample it to smithereens!
Wake up
Alarm clocks ring in stereo today!”
