Stay Awake Lyrics - The Echoing Green

"Doesn't look like they'll be closing down tonight..." 

On your street of dreams what you see 

Isn't always what you get 

Life is not as dark as it may seem 

You see your dream, it isn't over yet 

I know the road you travel on 

Has been so hard without a friend 

You won't have to be alone for long 

You turn to Him and the nightmare ends 

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight 

Just say your prayers and hold on tight 

There's no time to sleep 

There's so much at stake 

And I kneel and pray 

That you would stay awake 

Stay awake 

Stay awake 

Walking through your thoughts you see the fields 

Of emotion set aflame 

And you feel the hurt and you feel the heat 

But get to your feet, 'cause here comes the rain 

I know the pain you feel inside 

Could make you fall and break your stride 

Lift up your head and take a look above 

And you'll see His hand reaching out with love 

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight 

Say your prayers and hold on tight 

There's no time to sleep 

There's so much at stake 

And I kneel and pray 

That you would stay awake 

Stay awake 

Stay awake 

Your young men will see visions 

Your old men will dream dreams 

When you walk, they will guide you 

When you sleep, they will watch over you 

And when you're awake, they will speak to you 

(Come on!) 

You always thought that a dream would be all you'd feel 

Now it's time to wake up and make it real 

To find eternal love was your only goal 

Now there's someone reaching for your soul 

You always thought that a dream was all you could give 

There's a Man who died so your dreams could live 

Sitting in the prison of your fear 

Find yourself released as the Lord draws near 

Dreamer boy don't fall asleep tonight 

Say your prayers and hold on tight 

There's no time to sleep 

There's so much at stake 

And I kneel and pray 

That you would stay awake 

Stay awake 

Stay awake 

Stay awake 

Stay awake
