lyrics

When you wake o children
In this house of mercy
Do you hear the voice of galilee?
Sing oh sing your praise unto the deepest valley
Til you hear the shouts of victory

Sing oh sing (oh children)
Sing oh sing (oh children)
Til you hear the shouts of victory

When you rise oh children
From your deepest slumber
Do you feel the ghost below your feet?
Lift your weary eyes up to the break of heaven
Til you find the light that sets you free

Lift your eyes (oh children)
Lift your eyes (oh children)
Til you find (oh children)
Find the way (oh children)

When you run oh children
To the arms of glory
Do you see the everlasting light?
Lay your every burden at the feet of shelter
Open up your weary eyes to life

Lay you down (oh children)
Lay you down (oh children)
Every sin (oh children)
Every crown (oh children)
Sing o sing
Sing o sing
Til you find
Find the way
