Whoa, sleeping the night away,
Darkness enclosing the world, so desperate for day,
We're under the spell of disunity, whoa,
When will this giant awake, and stand, and be free'

Now the hour has come to awaken, and redeem the time given to the night,
Curse this darkness and stand in the light.

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall'
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Hey, hey, hey.

Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah,
How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong'
Whoa, gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial,
Ooh, each time we sleep through an inch, we're losing a mile.

We will get this rude awakening to reality, and arise in unity.

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall'
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Hey, hey, hey.

It's been dark for so long,
Night is almost gone,
Always darkest before the dawn,
Sunlight soon appearing; a new day it will bring,
Do you feel it'

Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall'
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call,
Hey, hey, hey.
