The Echoing Green - Stay Awake lyrics

"Doesn't look like they'll be closing down tonight..."

On your street of dreams what you see

Isn't always what you get

Life is not as dark as it may seem

You see your dream, it isn't over yet

I know the road you travel on

Has been so hard without a friend

You won't have to be alone for long

You turn to Him and the nightmare ends

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight

Just say your prayers and hold on tight

There's no time to sleep

There's so much at stake

And I kneel and pray

That you would stay awake

Stay awake

Stay awake

Walking through your thoughts you see the fields

Of emotion set aflame

And you feel the hurt and you feel the heat

But get to your feet, 'cause here comes the rain

I know the pain you feel inside

Could make you fall and break your stride

Lift up your head and take a look above

And you'll see His hand reaching out with love

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight

Say your prayers and hold on tight

There's no time to sleep

There's so much at stake

And I kneel and pray

That you would stay awake

Stay awake

Stay awake

Your young men will see visions

Your old men will dream dreams

When you walk, they will guide you

When you sleep, they will watch over you

And when you're awake, they will speak to you

(Come on!)

You always thought that a dream would be all you'd feel

Now it's time to wake up and make it real

To find eternal love was your only goal

Now there's someone reaching for your soul

You always thought that a dream was all you could give

There's a Man who died so your dreams could live

Sitting in the prison of your fear

Find yourself released as the Lord draws near

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight

Say your prayers and hold on tight

There's no time to sleep

There's so much at stake

And I kneel and pray

That you would stay awake

Stay awake

Stay awake

Stay awake

Stay awake
