God don’t make 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
Strengthen the things that remain ?
Counterfeited philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts
Karl Marx has got ya by the throat,
Henry Kissinger’s got you tied up in knots.
When you gonna wake up,
when you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
Strengthen the things that remain ?
You got innocent men in jail, your 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
Strengthen the things that remain ?
You got men who can’t hold their peace
And woman 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
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,
when you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up
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
That 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 up on a cross and He’s 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 ?
