Sleeping Giant - The Streets Don't Lie lyrics
[Sleeping Giant - The Streets Don't Lie lyrics]
Taking me to the streets
I’m losing everything society deemed
Important to me
Where do I turn? Kicking me in the teeth
Why’s my wife and daughter sleeping
In some strange building
Their whole life taped in boxes
How can my marriage survive?
How will my wife respect me at night
If she don’t think I’ll provide
What goes through my child’s
Mind, her fragile heart, this tears me apart
Oh Jesus am I alone in this fight?
Only vagabonds can know
Only the homeless ones can comprehend what it
Means to lose everything you know
Just to come home again
Only the pilgrims go from
Strength to strength, and the Son of Man has
Nowhere to lay His head
So now He helps me find my way in this world
I’m home again and He sings over me
His voice washes my wounds clean
He says my sons and
Daughters, exempt from fear, this is Jubilee
You are one, you are my child child of mine
Oh nation, listen to me who’s unseen
Don’t you worry about a thing
Night will fall, though the darkness
Is real, sun will rise
Though the enemy lies
The awakening, your home is
Nearer than it seems
Come waste away with me
How many sunny days have I passed men and
Women taken to poverty within this nation
In passing I mumble a prayer, "Oh God
Just get them out of this jungle
Let me show them salvation"
My Christian vanity, all my possession
All links and chains to
This all powerful nothing
We’re choking on American Dreams
And this whole nation falling down at
The feet of the meek
Maybe the homeless ones are free
Maybe those vagabonds can comprehend, what it
Means to have absolutely nothing
While coming home again
And as those pilgrims go
From strength to strength
Like the Son of Man, nowhere to lay his head
And I’ve experienced losing everything
I thought was home, on my way home again
And He sings over me
His voice washes my wounds clean
He says my sons and
Daughters, exempt from fear, this is Jubilee
Ou are one, you are my children, child of
Mine, you can see me, who’s unseen
I know you all i know and I see
Night will fall, though the darkness is
Real, the sun will rise
I’ll lift your head up, the
True awakening, I’ll never leave
Come waste away with me
Give up everything
I hold truth and resurrection life
Kid stay vigilant
You watch and wait for my imminent return
Give up everything
I hold truth and resurrection life
Kid stay vigilant
You watch and wait for my imminent return
And every generation sings
Every generation that lifts up it's head
It lifts up it's hands, as the people sing
We are those, and we declare
To every broken heart, children of One
Let every wounded soul, who’s unseen
All who’ve been cast away
Worlds will fall, every last one
That’s been turned away, we may die
We declare over your heart in the awakening
This is your destiny come waste away!
Maranatha! Jesus come!
Kingdom come! Jesus come!
Kingdom come! Your will!
I’m losing everything society deemed
Important to me
Where do I turn? Kicking me in the teeth
Why’s my wife and daughter sleeping
In some strange building
Their whole life taped in boxes
How can my marriage survive?
How will my wife respect me at night
If she don’t think I’ll provide
What goes through my child’s
Mind, her fragile heart, this tears me apart
Oh Jesus am I alone in this fight?
Only vagabonds can know
Only the homeless ones can comprehend what it
Means to lose everything you know

Only the pilgrims go from
Strength to strength, and the Son of Man has
Nowhere to lay His head
So now He helps me find my way in this world
I’m home again and He sings over me

You are one, you are my child child of mine
Oh nation, listen to me who’s unseen
Don’t you worry about a thing
