Petra - Sleeping Giant lyrics

Words by Bob Hartman

Based on Romans 13:11, Isaiah 60:1

Whoa, sleeping the night away

Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day

We're under the spell of disunity

When will this giant awake and stand and be free

Now the hour has come

To awaken and redeem the time given to the night

Curse this darkness and stand in the light

(Chorus)

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call

Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call

The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call

Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah

How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong?

The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial

Each time we sleep through an inch we're losing a mile

We will get this rude awakening to reality

And arise in unity

It's been dark for so long night is almost gone

Always darkest before the dawn

Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring

Do you feel it?
