Wake me up

For they say you are here

The tree among brush

Waves beyond water

This is what they say

 

Here I have slept

Oh so long, Oh so long

My eyes have never seen

The morning portrayed

Yellows and reds

 

Wake me up

For they say you smile always

A frown upside down

Against the shadows

Your smile never fades

 

It is different than they said

Hatred and vengeance

Fire and death

Yet here you stand

Redemption in hand

A frown upside down

 

Wake me up

I have slept oh so long

It is time for morning

Yellows and reds

Redemption in hand

Turn my frown upside down
