When You Gonna Wake Up
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?
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?
