I'm alive,
The sleeper has awakened,
I'm alive,
The sleeper has awakened.
We walk the walls in this freak of flesh along the twists of our visceral mesh,
Against the power-flow of motionless flood - it's an experience of the flesh and blood.
Sleeper must awake,
Sleeper must awake.
I face the weight of this gravity,
I face the beauty in the things I can't see,
I face the weakness that has rendered me strong,
I face the fate of my existence head on.
Ready to bleed, ready to feel,
Ready to love without fear.
I am alive...am alive...am alive and awake.
I'm awake,
Alive and awake,
I'm awake.
Hey people, rise and shine.
I pray for wisdom in the days of my youth,
I pray for courage in the presence of truth,
I pray for grace at each approach of the sun,
I pray for peace and for the kingdom to come,
We walk the walls in this freak of flesh along the twists of our visceral mesh,
Against the power-flow of motionless flood - it's an experience of the flesh and the blood.
Ready to bleed, ready to feel,
Ready to love without fear.
I am alive...am alive...I'm alive and awake.
I'm awake,
Alive and awake,
I'm awake.
So it begins...
For all that lives and dies entails a sacrifice of love,
Though the earth, the surf, the skies are gilded with good-byes, be sure God is in control,
And when the dead leaves fall, for time will fail us all, never fail to remember...
The one in whom we move, and breath, and have our being, is the God who's in control.
Sleeper must awake.
How do we die? (I'm alive)
How do we sleep? (at least we're alive)
When we're ready to be human, without fear.
I am alive...am alive...I'm alive,
I am alive...am alive...am alive and awake.
I'm awake,
Alive and awake,
I'm awake,
Alive and awake.
