Wake Up
Said Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, wake up
Wake in the sound of the rising sun
See a bright light shine on the lions
Morning red light on the horizon
Stay up, stay up
If you wanna see when the full moon comes
See a silver light shine on the island
See a silhouette off in the distance
Wake up, wake up
Bathe in the morning light
Safe in the warming light
Faith in the morning, alright

Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh
Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh

Wake up, wake up
Sleep 'til the sound of the nine 'o clock gun
Bright city lights in the reflection
Up all night till the morning comes
Stay up, stay up
Slip through the cracks of the morning rush
Find my faith in the place I love
Make my way to the place I love

Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh
Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh

Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up




Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, oh

Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh
Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together, oh

Time makes all things fall together
Time brings all things together
Time makes all things fall
(Bathe in the morning light
Safe in the warming light
Time brings all things together
Faith in the morning)
(Wake up, wake up
Time makes all things fall
Wake up, wake up)
Time brings all things together
