Lazy summer afternoon

Screened in porch and nothin' to do

I just kicked off my tennis shoes

Slouchin' in a plastic chair

Rakin' my fingers through my hair

I close my eyes and I leave them there

And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away



Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors

I have never seen

Deep enough to join a billion people

For a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch

The face of the One who made me

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace

Do I ever have to wake up



Awakened by a familiar sound

A clumsy fly is buzzin' around

He bumps the screen and he tumbles down

He gathers about his wits and pride

And tries again for the hundredth time

'Cause freedom calls from the other side

And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away



Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors

I have never seen

Deep enough to join a billion people

For a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch

The face of the One who made me

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace

Do I ever have to wake up



'Cause peace is pouring over my soul

See the lambs and the lions playin'

I join in and I drink the music

Holiness is the air I'm breathin'

My faithful heroes break the bread

And answer all of my questions

Not to mention what the streets are made of

My heart's held hostage by this love



And these brilliant colors I have never seen

I join a billion people for a wedding feast

And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace

Do I ever have to wake up



Do I ever have to wake up

Do I ever have to wake up

Do I really have to wake up now
