Lazy summer afternoon
Screened-in porch and nothin` to do
I just kicked off my tennis shoes
Slouchin` in a plastic chair
Rakin` my fingers through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave `em there
And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away
(CHORUS)
Deep enough to dream in brilliant
Colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion
People for a wedding feast
Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace
Do I ever have to wake up
Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin` around
He bumps the screen and he tumbles down
He gathers about his wits and pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
`Cause freedom calls from the other side
And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away
(repeat chorus)
`Cause peace is pouring over my soul
See the lambs and the lions playin`
I join in and I drink the music
Holiness is the air I`m breathin`
My faithful heroes break the bread
And answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are made of
My heart`s held hostage by this love
(repeat chorus)
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I ever have to wake up
Do I really have to wake up now
