Echoing Green Album: Defend Your Joy Track: Stay Awake
Stay Awake Lyrics
"Doesn't look like they'll be closing down tonight..."
On your street of dreams what you see Isn't always what you get Life is not as dark as it may seem You see your dream, it isn't over yet
I know the road you travel on Has been so hard without a friend You won't have to be alone for long You turn to Him and the nightmare ends
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight Just say your prayers and hold on tight There's no time to sleep There's so much at stake And I kneel and pray That you would stay awake Stay awake Stay awake
Walking through your thoughts you see the fields Of emotion set aflame And you feel the hurt and you feel the heat But get to your feet, 'cause here comes the rain
I know the pain you feel inside Could make you fall and break your stride Lift up your head and take a look above And you'll see His hand reaching out with love
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight Say your prayers and hold on tight There's no time to sleep There's so much at stake And I kneel and pray That you would stay awake Stay awake Stay awake
Your young men will see visions Your old men will dream dreams
When you walk, they will guide you When you sleep, they will watch over you And when you're awake, they will speak to you
(Come on!)
You always thought that a dream would be all you'd feel Now it's time to wake up and make it real To find eternal love was your only goal Now there's someone reaching for your soul You always thought that a dream was all you could give There's a Man who died so your dreams could live Sitting in the prison of your fear Find yourself released as the Lord draws near
Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight Say your prayers and hold on tight There's no time to sleep There's so much at stake And I kneel and pray That you would stay awake Stay awake..
