lyrics

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?
