time to wake up

Mike Love

Time to wake up
It's been so long you're sleeping
You've been under a spell for far too long
Time to wake up
You've been far away dreaming
Thought you were in heaven
But you were living in hell

This is the dawn of our return
To a higher consciousness
We're moving on to mount zion
In the higher heights
No more will we moan
And weep over this babylon nonsense
We been sleeping but now our skin
Can feel the warmth of the light

Time to wake up
Its been so long you're sleeping
You've been under a spell for far too long
Time to wake up
You've been far away dreaming
Thought you were in heaven
But you were living in hell

So ask ye now and you shall be forgiven
And the kingdom of jah shall be opened to you
Righteousness is the path of the living
And the wicked shall perish
In the sight of the pure and true

The time has come and we need to know
Are you ready for this revolution
The time has come now we got to go
So are you ready for this soul revelation

Time to wake up from your sleep
And your slumbering
You've been under a spell for far too long
Inside of your heart
There's a storm that is thundering
But love is breaking through
And the clouds are giving way

Come out of the shadows
Step into the light
It's time to show your face now
It's time to see the light
Cause in between the sorrows
And in between the lies
I can see your true heart
I see it in your eyes

I stand on the edge of the never
Chanting to those who would pierce my soul
Saying I'm not afraid of forever
I am a part of the greater whole
Just a piece in the puzzle of zion
Trying to find just where I belong
Come to gather up all jah jah's children
We're forwarding back to our one true home

So come out of the shadows
Step into the light
It's time to show your face now
It's time to see the light
Cause in between the sorrows
And in between the lies
I can see your true heart
I see it in your eyes

Open up the window the air is blowing thick
With stale lies force fed to us
By mindless politicians
Servants to a beast invisible even to them
Our every waking moment lives within a half light
Blinded by the unseen seeds of oppression
Planted within the minds
Of generation after generation
But come listen brothers, come listen my sisters
We don't have to hate them
No we don't have to fear them
Cause for all chemical weapons
Bio­engineered viruses, nuclear warheads and
Poisonous gasses
They don't have no weapon that can kill a soul
And they don't have no weapon
That can kill jah music

So open up the window
Let jah love come pouring in
Open up the window
Let jah love come pouring in

Time to wake up
Its been so long you're sleeping
You've been under a spell for far too long
Time to wake up
You've been far away dreaming
Thought you were in heaven
But you were living in hell

So ask ye now and you shall be forgiven
And the kingdom of jah shall be opened to you
Righteousness is the path of the living
And the wicked shall perish
In the sight of the pure and true
