Mike Love - Time To Wake Up lyrics
[Chorus] Time to wake up Its been so long you're sleeping You've been under a spell for far too long Time to wake up You've been far away dreaming Thought you were in heaven but you were living in hell [Verse 1] This is the dawn of our return to a higher consciousness We're moving on to Mount Zion in the higher heights No more will we moan and weep over this Babylon nonsense We been sleeping but now our skin can feel the warmth of the light [Chorus] Time to wake up Its been so long you're sleeping You've been under a spell for far too long Time to wake up You've been far away dreaming Thought you were in heaven but you were living in hell [Bridge] So ask ye now and you shall be forgiven and the Kingdom of Jah shall be opened to you Righteousness is the path of the living and the wicked shall perish in the sight of the pure and true [Verse 2] The time has come and we need to know Are you ready for this revolution The time has come now we got to go So are you ready for this soul revelation [Verse 3] Time to wake up from your sleep and your slumbering You've been under a spell for far too long Inside of your heart there's a storm that is thundering But Love is breaking through and the clouds are giving way [Verse 4] Come out of the shadows Step into the light It's time to show your face now It's time to see the light Cause in between the sorrows And in between the lies I can see your true heart I see it in your eyes [Verse 5] I stand on the edge of the never Chanting to those who would pierce my soul Saying I'm not afraid of forever I am a part of the Greater Whole Just a piece in the puzzle of Zion Trying to find just where I belong Come to gather up all Jah Jah's children We're forwarding back to our one true home [Verse 6] So come out of the shadows Step into the light It's time to show your face now It's time to see the light Cause in between the sorrows And in between the lies I can see your true heart I see it in your eyes [Verse 7] Open up the window the air is blowing thick With stale lies force fed to us by mindless politicians Servants to a beast invisible even to them Our every waking moment lives within a half light Blinded by the unseen seeds of oppression Planted within the minds of generation after generation But come listen brothers, come listen my sisters We don't have to hate them, no we don't have to fear them Cause for all chemical weapons, bioengineered viruses, nuclear warheads and Poisonous ga**es They don't have no weapon that can k** a soul And they don't have no weapon that can k** Jah music So open up the window, let Jah Love come pouring in Open up the window, let Jah Love come pouring in (x5) [Chorus] Time to wake up Its been so long you're sleeping You've been under a spell for far too long Time to wake up You've been far away dreaming Thought you were in heaven but you were living in hell [Bridge] So ask ye now and you shall be forgiven and the Kingdom of Jah shall be opened to you Righteousness is the path of the living and the wicked shall perish in the sight of the pure and true
