I've been asleep most of my days
In fact, I'm quite content that way
Snoring and snoozing, dreaming and drooling my days away
But then the light breaks through the blinds
It hits my eyelids and I'm reminded
That I gotta get up and get up and get out
Leave my doubt in the bed, put a song in my head and it wakes me up
So come wake me up to see the sun
Cause I've been in the darkness for so long
The morning breaks, the shadows flee
Lead Kindly Light, come brightly beam
'Cause my eager eyes are watching, longing
So come wake me up
Now as the day drags into night
The sunlight fades and so do I
Straining and struggling, slowing and stumbling on my way
But there's a fire that's growing strong
It lights the path I'm walking on
Now I gotta keep on, keep on, keep up, keep it moving along
Keep on singing a song till it wakes me up
So come wake me up to see the sunlight
Cause I've been sleeping every day and every stormy night
Abide with me, the day is gone
By day, by night, lead me along
My walk today is making my heart burn and it wakes me up
My eager eyes are longing, watching
So come wake me up
By day, by night, lead me along
My walk today is making my heart burn and I sing a song
So come sing along and wake me up
