Wake up, child, there’s no more time to sleep
Open your eyes, tell me what you see
Do you see the poor, do you see the hungry?
Do you see the sad, do you see the angry?
Do you see Me?
Will you follow Me? (3x)
Or will you go?
Wake up, child, you’ve been living in a dream
Wake to the lies that blind the truth you need
Do you see hopeless, do you see the empty?
Do you see the sorrow, do you see the tempting?
Do you see Me?
Will you follow Me? (3x)
Or will you go?
‘Cause just outside your door, there’s world of people hurting
And just within your hands is the Word they’re desperate for
You’re sitting in your office
Got your hands tucked in your pockets
And their screams are getting louder
Their cries can’t be ignored
Drop your nets where you are standing
Don’t go home to say goodbye
Give all the things you count as treasure
Just leave them all behind
Don’t go back to bury family
Get used to sleeping on the floor
Lose yourself to come and find me
Abandon everything you are
And follow...follow...follow Me
Will you follow…follow...follow Me? (2x)
Wake up, child, what will you believe?
Will you come with me or will you just go back to sleep?

I Do Not Belong To You

Change my name, paint my face
Bring me wine sweet to my taste
Give me coins, show me power
Threaten me; I will not cower
You do not define me
Mold me and refine me
You constantly remind me
I do not belong to you
Dress me up; push me around
For you, these knees will never touch the ground
Strip me bare; peel my skin
You cannot scratch the soul within
You will not defile me
Ravage and revile me
Your ways aren't so beguiling
I do not belong to you
Set the fire, toss me in
I will not bow; I won't give in
Find a pit, and throw me down
I'll sleep with lions and still won't bow
Bind my hands; chain my feet
I don't surrender; I don't retreat
I'm prepared to pay the cost
Nail me backwards to a cross
I do not belong to you
Come use and abuse me
You may execute me
Hang, behead, or shoot me
I do not belong to you

Slumbering Princess

Light pours through windows
Dawn breaks the horizon
Another day begins, empty as the last one
Wait, do you hear that?
There’s someone calling
Could it be the one I’ve been falling for?
Are you who they call charming?
That smile so disarming
I’m waiting for my prince to come
You look at me with longing.
Have we met before?
You take me in your arms and I’m at home
You want to know me
What do you want to know?
I’ve waited for so long for you to come
Slumbering princess
Locked in a tower far
Will you be my prince and try to scale my walls?
I started to lose hope that you would ever come
Scared that I’d be lonesome forever
I thought I’d dreamt you up, imaginary love
A make believe happy ever after
So you tell your story - you’ve been looking far and wide
Running through the countryside searching for your bride
You climbed mountains, swam oceans, wrestled lions and bears
Dueled kings and peasants just to get you there
And when your hope lied dormant on the forest floor
You heard me singing and you ran forward
My melody drew you and you knew I was the one
And you climbed my tower to ask if I would like to come… come… home
Now that you’re here
Will you please rescue me?
I’ve waited for so long for you to come for me
There’s dragons to be fought
And ogres to be caught
Our love can conquer anything
We are fairy tales come true; dreamers - me and you
Magic turned to flesh and bones
We are songs and lullabies alive before their eyes
A walking fantasy, strong as stones
We're strong as stones
