Hélène Segara - Je Vous Aime Adieu lyrics

RIP VAN WINKLE GONNA SLEEP FOREVER

GONNA SLEEP HIS LIFE AWAY

RIP VAN WINKLE DON'T KNOW THE SAVIOR

GONNA SLEEP THROUGH JUDGMENT DAY

Open up your eyes, wake up and smell the napalm

The sky is filled with smoke and you're covered up in ash

The dead are all around you and the saints have gone to Glory

But you fell asleep and now you're all alone

You wander through the rubble looking for a sign of life

You're hoping that just maybe you will run across your wife

Your children or your neighbors, but they're either dead or gone

Then you come across some pages that are scattered 'cross the lawn

You start to read one of them thinking maybe it's a clue

But it's just from a Bible that had once belonged to you

One time you'd been a Christian, or maybe so you thought

But later in your life you decided you were not

You were nice to your neighbor, you were good to your wife

But a God you could not see or hear was sure not worth your life

You thought He was a legend, Jesus Christ was just a fake

But now you look around and wonder why you weren't awake

REPEAT CHORUS

So many people think that Jesus Christ is make-believe

They only trust the things that they can touch or hear or see

But just because you don't believe don't mean that it's not there

And when your life and soul's at stake, you'd better just beware

So if you're Rip Van Winkle, thinking that you've got it made

Just give your heart to Jesus and WAKE UP!!! before it's too late

REPEAT CHORUS
