High Flight Society Album: High Flight Society Track: Wake Up
Wake Up Lyrics
Put me in my place persuade me Vindicate your reasons why You lead them all away from safety Drop the front and tell me why
You sell illusion Confusion
Wake up see the truth Every time you compromise Wake up you're the proof Every time we fold they grow cold
Shown them on your own Mistakes are not the same as disregard So take another bitter drink of Reassurance as you fall
I want to change things I want to change I want to change things They never thought you would fall
Song Description: "Anyone who considers themselves to be a Christian should hold themselves to a higher standard, especially those that are in the spotlight. Unfortunately, many Christians don't set the right kind of example and can leave those on the outside looking in confused and led astray. If we as Christians don't appear any different from the rest of the world, then our witness can be ineffective before we even open our mouths. This song is a call to all Christians to wake up and realize that the world is watching us - some hope to see us stumble, while others are looking on to see if what we have is real and has really changed us. With this fact in mind, we should try our best to live a truly righteous life. On an interesting musical side note, we didn't realize it at the time it was written but "Wake Up" actually features two different time signatures. However, this makes the middle section of the song, which is a call to "change things" that much more powerful." - High Flight Society
