Sleeping Giant - The Streets Don't Lie lyrics

rate me

Taking me to the streets

I'm losing everything, society deemed important to me

Where do I turn?

Kicking me in the teeth

Why's my wife and daughter sleeping in some strange building their whole life taped in boxes

How can my marriage survive?

How will my wife respect me at night if she don't think I'll provide

What goes through my child's mind, her fragile heart, this tears me apart

Oh Jesus am I alone in this fight?

Only vagabonds can know

Only the homeless ones can comprehend what it means to lose everything you know, just to come home again

Only the pilgrims go from strength to strength, and the son of man has nowhere to lay his head

So now he helps me find my way in this world, I'm home again

And he sings over me

His voice washes my wounds clean

He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear this is Jubilee

You are one, you are my child

Child of mine who is unseen, Oh nation, listen to Me

Don't you worry about a thing

Night will fall, though the darkness is real, sun will rise, though the enemy lies

The awakening, your home is nearer than it seems, Come waste away with me

How many sunny days have I passed men and women taken to poverty within this nation

In passing I mumble a prayer,

Oh God just get them out of this jungle, let me show them salvation

My Christian vanity, all my possessions links and chains to this all powerful nothing

We're choking on American Dreams, and this whole nation falling down at the feet of the meek

Maybe the homeless ones are free

Maybe those vagabonds can comprehend, what it means to have absolutely nothing, while coming home again

And as those pilgrims go from strength to strength

Like the son of man, nowhere to lay his head

And I've experienced losing everything I thought was home, on my way home again

And he sings over me

His voice washes my wounds clean

He says my sons and daughters, exempt from fear this is Jubilee

You are one, you are my children, child of mine, you can see me, who is unseen, I know you all, I know and I see

Night will fall, though the darkness is real, but the sun will rise, I'll lift your head up, the true awakening,

I'll never leave, come waste away with me Give up everything

I hold truth and resurrection life

Kid stay vigilant

You watch and wait for my imminent return

And every generation sings

Every generation that lifts up it's head, it lifts up it's hands

As the people sing... We are those

And we declare to every broken heart

Children of One

Let every wounded soul

Who is unseen

All who've been cast away

Worlds will Fall

Every last one that's been turned away

We may die, in the awakening

We declare over your heart this is your destiny

Come Waste Away!

Maranatha!

Jesus Come! Kingdom Come!

Your Will!<br />
