Words by Bob Hartman 

Based on Romans 13:11, Isaiah 60:1



Whoa, sleeping the night away 

Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day 

We're under the spell of disunity 

When will this giant awake and stand and be free 

Now the hour has come 

To awaken and redeem the time given to the night 

Curse this darkness and stand in the light 



(Chorus) 

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall 

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call 

Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall 

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call 

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call 



Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah 

How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong? 

The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial 

Each time we sleep through an inch we're losing a mile 

We will get this rude awakening to reality 

And arise in unity 





It's been dark for so long night is almost gone 

Always darkest before the dawn 

Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring 

Do you feel it?
