When You Gonna Wake Up

God don't make no 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

And strengthen the things that remain?

Counterfeit philosophies have polluted all of your thoughts

Karl Marx has got ya by the throat

And Henry Kissinger's got you tied up in knots

When you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up

And strengthen the things that remain?

You got innocent men in jail, 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

And strengthen the things that remain?

You got men who can't hold their peace

Women 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

And 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

Said when you gonna wake up

When you gonna wake up

And 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 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 on a cross and he 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?
