Awake O Sleeper
-----

Awake O Sleeper...arise and shine
For indeed your light has come
You shall go forth
You will journey far, and you will be fine

You say, Let me rest, I can't go on anymore
But I say, dress yourself for battle
Gird yourself up for what is ahead
I will lead you through the open door

You think your time for battles is now past
You have been injured in the fray
If only you can just rest for a little while
But I say the REAL battle is here at last!!

Rise up, and I will take you by your hand
Lift up that sword I gave you
Slash through the enemy's lines
March right past the enemy's band

Go forth to victory, with a Mighty Shout
I will give you the strength
I will give you the power
I will remove each and every doubt!!!

I love you, yes with an everlasting love
In this fight, you will not be alone
I will go before you and shelter you
I will send you strength from up above

Awake O Sleeper...look to me
Allow me to fill you up inside
Allow me to cherish you
Allow me to lead you on to VICTORY!!!!
