about

Written in Cuzco, Peru. 1972

lyrics

Hey you on the ground
Take a look around.
Tell me what you’ve found.
Tell me what you’ve found
that can compare
With the chill in the air
when the sun is risin’
And the dawn is breakin’ out on the golden horizon.

You who are dead,
Lift up your head,
Rise from your bed
And waken from your slumber
And immerse yourself in the wisdom of His words,
That your heart may take flight
like the birds.

Oh God keep your gates wide open.
Let us come inside.
Help us to rid ourselves
of envy, greed, and pride.
There’s no one else to turn to.
There’s no where else to hide
But beneath your protecting wings.
Beneath your protecting wings of love.

Wake us from our slumber.
Wake us from our slumber. (2X )

Then there comes a Man,
The word at His command.
And in words this growing child
can understand
To wake him from his winter
And then clothe the world
in the message that He brings.
As the fragrant flowers
adorn the hills in .......

Wake us from our slumber.
Wake us from our slumber.

As the fragrant flowers
adorn the hills in Spring.
