Come Awake

So, Seth got the new David Crowder Band cd for Christmas - it's called A Collision, and it's really an awesome cd. I haven't listened to much of their stuff in the past...knew they were popular and I'd heard them on the radio some, but I didn't really know their stuff. Well, the album as a whole is really good, musically and lyrically, but there are a few songs in particular that really speak to me. One of them is called "Come Awake", and I'd like to type out the lyrics for your reading pleasure. I wish you could hear the music and neat effects and sounds they do along with these lyrics, but for now (until you go listen to this song), the lyrics alone will have to suffice. Go to a thoughtful place in your mind and heart and take in the words...

Are we left here on our own? Can you feel when your last breath is gone?
Night is weighing heavy now. Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say...

Come awake, from sleep arise. You were dead, become alive.
Wake up, wake up, open your eyes.
Climb from your grave into the light. Bring us back to life.

You are not the only one who feels like the only one.
Night soon will be lifted, friend. Just be quiet and wait for a voice that will say...

Come awake, from sleep arise. You were dead, become alive.
Wake up, wake up, open your eyes.
Climb from your grave into the light.

(Then there is a super musically climactic bridge here that goes into these words)
Rise, rise, to life, to life...shine. Light will shine. Love will rise.
Light will shine, shine, shine, shine. He's shining on us now.

Okay, please go listen to this song somehow because the effect of the whole piece together makes it what it is and brings it to life. It's number 14 on the cd.
