God don't make no promises that He don't keep.

You got some big dreams, baby, but in order to
dream you gotta still be asleep.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of
your thoughts.

Karl Marx has got ya by the throat, Henry
Kissinger's got you tied up in knots.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

You got innocent men in jail, your insane asylums
are filled,

You got unrighteous doctors dealing drugs that'll
never cure your ills.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

You got men who can't hold their peace and women
who can't control their tongues,

The rich seduce the poor and the old are seduced
by the young.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

Adulterers in churches and pornography in the
schools,

You got gangsters in power and lawbreakers making
rules.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

Spiritual advisors and gurus to guide your every
move,

Instant inner peace and every step you take has
got to be approved.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

Do you ever wonder just what God requires?

You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your
wandering desires.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

You can't take it with you and you know that it's
too worthless to be sold,

They tell you, Time is money as if your life was
worth its weight in gold.

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?

There's a Man up on a cross and He's been
crucified.

Do you have any idea why or for who He died?

When you gonna wake up, when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up and strengthen the things
that remain?
