When You Gonna Wake Up

2 views

Lyrics

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
 And 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, 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
 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
 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
 Said 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 it's too worthless to be sold
 They tell you time is money
 As if your life was worth its weight in gold
 ♪
 There's a man on a cross and he been crucified for you
 Believe in his power, that's about all you got to do
 When you gonna wake up
 When you gonna wake up
 When you gonna wake up
 And strengthen the things that remain?
