Screened in porch and nothin' to do
I just kicked off my tennis shoes
Slouchin' in a plastic chair
Rakin' my fingers through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave them there
And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors
I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people
For a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up
Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin' around
He bumps the screen and he tumbles down
He gathers about his wits and pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
'Cause freedom calls from the other side
And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors
I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people
For a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up
'Cause peace is pouring over my soul
See the lambs and the lions playin'
I join in and I drink the music
Holiness is the air I'm breathin'
My faithful heroes break the bread
And answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are made of
My heart's held hostage by this love
And these brilliant colors I have never seen
I join a billion people for a wedding feast
And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I really have to wake up now
Lazy summer afternoon Screened in porch and nothin' to do I just kicked off my tennis shoes Slouchin' in a plastic chair Rakin' my fingers through my hair I close my eyes and I leave them there And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen Deep enough to join a billion people For a wedding feast Deep enough to reach out and touch The face of the One who made me And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace Do I ever have to wake up Awakened by a familiar sound A clumsy fly is buzzin' around He bumps the screen and he tumbles down He gathers about his wits and pride And tries again for the hundredth time 'Cause freedom calls from the other side And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen Deep enough to join a billion people For a wedding feast Deep enough to reach out and touch The face of the One who made me And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace Do I ever have to wake up 'Cause peace is pouring over my soul See the lambs and the lions playin' I join in and I drink the music Holiness is the air I'm breathin' My faithful heroes break the bread And answer all of my questions Not to mention what the streets are made of My heart's held hostage by this love And these brilliant colors I have never seen I join a billion people for a wedding feast And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace Do I ever have to wake up Do I ever have to wake up Do I really have to wake up now Explain Request ×
