Living in day when sin is accepted and the people hunger only for pleasure Oh heal our land heal our land Take away the stones and build a tower Let the watchmen warn in this hour That we might stand we might stand Set a watchman on the tower Everybody stay awake (stay awake, stay awake) The enemy is closer than you think With a watchman on the tower We will hear the trumpet sound And be ready to trample the enemy down Jerusalem and Judah have fallin They displayed their wicked sin like Sodom Forgive them Lord, forgive them Lord The vigorous fall from the mighty oppression And form every man against Your presence Oh send Your Word, Your Holy Word Set a watchman on the tower Everybody stay awake (stay awake, stay awake) The enemy is closer than you think With a watchman on the tower We will hear the trumpet sound And be ready to trample the enemy down Oh set a watchman on the tower Everybody stay awake (stay awake, stay awake)
The enemy is closer than you think With a watchman on the tower We will hear the trumpet sound And be ready to trample the enemy down Everyone looking for peace and safety In a land where God has been forsaken Oh Spirit come Spirit come Take away the stones that cover the eyes Of every man that sees by compromise Sound the alarm sound the alarm Set a watchman on the tower Everybody stay awake (stay awake, stay awake) The enemy is closer than you think With a watchman on the tower We will hear the trumpet sound And be ready to trample the enemy down Set a watchman on the tower Everybody stay awake (stay awake, stay awake) The enemy is closer than you think With a watchman on the tower We will hear the trumpet sound And be ready to trample the enemy down Ready to trample the enemy down Ready to trample the enemy down Ready to trample the enemy down
