It also reached #2 on Billboard Magazine's Heatseeker Chart for the SouthCentral United States region (Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico) for all genres released that week. He recently released a fun, new project titled "The Kitchen Sink EP" on October 7th, 2014 and it climbed all the way to #2 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel Charts. Tyler describes it as "the kind of record you listen to with your 'steel-toe dancing shoes on'" because it will both lyrically challenge your heart but also make you want to get up and bust a move.

Come To Life
Micah Tyler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He is not a friend to me
All he wants to do is see the enemy
So patiently I wait for He
Who brought to life this death in me
And sends me to the places filled with faces
I ain't never seen
I can't be the only one who cares
I can't be the only one to tell them
Everything the enemy has promised gonna fail them
I just want to shout it from the rooftops
I just want to call out to the streets
Hoping every ear will hear the message
That He has spoken to me...
Come on people, everybody
Every one from everywhere
Listen to the invitation
Everybody come to life
All you sisters, all you brothers
Every color and every tongue
Join in with the celebration
Everybody come to life
I want to make an unmistakable impact on the world I see
Reaching my community
Promising to give up every breath in me
Cause how will they see a ministry
Not willing to get up on it's feet
And suffer the Gospel of Jesus for all of the broken and misguided least of these
I just want to shout it from the rooftops
I just want to call out to the streets
Hoping every ear will hear the message
That He has spoken to me...
Come on people, everybody
Every one from everywhere
Listen to the invitation
Everybody come to life
All you sisters, all you brothers
Every color and every tongue
Join in with the celebration
Everybody come to life
And wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Everybody come to life
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Everybody come to life
All you people, everybody
Every one from everywhere
Listen to my invitation
Everybody come to life
All you sisters, all you brothers
Every color and every tongue
Join in with the celebration
Everybody come to life
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Everybody come to life
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Everybody come to life
Wake up
The song "Come to Life" by Christian artist Micah Tyler talks about the desire to be a weapon against the enemy, who is not a friend but a destroyer of humanity. The artist recognizes his role as an agent of transformation in the world, waiting patiently for the Lord who brought him from darkness to light, and sending him to places he's never been before in order to touch lives. The song talks about the urgency of the message of the Gospel, the need for people to come alive and become agents of change in their communities. Micah sees himself as a minister of the Gospel, willing to pay the price of suffering and sacrifice for the sake of those who are broken and in need of hope.
The chorus of the song invites every person from every corner of the earth to come to life, to wake up from a state of spiritual death and to join a global celebration of redemption, healing, and restoration. The message is universal: it speaks to every sister, brother, race, and tribe, and calls for unity and diversity. The song is a powerful reminder of the transformative effect of the Gospel on the human heart and the call for believers to be agents of hope in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I want to be a dangerous weapon against the enemy
I desire to be a mighty instrument against the devil
He is not a friend to me
The enemy is not my companion
All he wants to do is see the enemy
All the devil desires is to witness the downfall of those he opposes
So patiently I wait for He
With calmness and endurance, I anticipate the coming of God
Who brought to life this death in me
The One who resurrected me from the dead, restored my life
And sends me to the places filled with faces
And dispatches me to the locales teeming with individuals
I ain't never seen
That I have not seen before
I can't be the only one to notice
I cannot be the lone individual to perceive
I can't be the only one who cares
I cannot be the exclusive person who is concerned
I can't be the only one to tell them
I cannot be the sole individual to inform them
Everything the enemy has promised gonna fail them
All the assurances the devil has given them will ultimately disappoint them
I just want to shout it from the rooftops
I simply want to proclaim it loudly and boldly for all to hear
I just want to call out to the streets
I just want to cry out in the thoroughfares
Hoping every ear will hear the message
With the expectation that every listener will receive the gospel
That He has spoken to me...
The message that He has revealed to me
Come on people, everybody
Let us all, regardless of our identity or affiliation
Every one from everywhere
Every person from every corner of the earth
Listen to the invitation
Pay heed to the call to action
Everybody come to life
Everyone, regain vitality and purpose
All you sisters, all you brothers
All females, all males
Every color and every tongue
Every ethnicity and every language
Join in with the celebration
Participate in the rejoicing
And wake up
And awaken
Wake up
Awaken
Wake up
Awaken
Wake up
Awaken
All you people, everybody
All individuals, all people
Listen to my invitation
Listen to my call to action
Wake up
Awaken
Wake up
Awaken
Wake up
Awaken
Wake up
Awaken
Everybody come to life
All individuals, regain vitality and purpose
