Shake Me To Wake Me

[00:12.73] I was born in a religious town
[00:29.05] That had a very good name
[00:30.80] Everybody wore their faith around
[00:35.32] Like a ball and chain
[00:38.92] People living so carefully
[00:41.65] Trying to keep the image clean
[00:44.32] But underneath all the sanctity
[00:48.96] Things were not what they seemed, oh no
[00:52.50] Salvation was nice and neat
[01:02.49] It had four little laws
[01:05.15] And that arrangement was fine with me
[01:08.78] Cause it didn't really cost nothin'
[01:11.59] But something that I read in my bible one day
[01:15.15] Really smy world
[01:19.64] Jesus was talking 'bout Pharisees
[01:22.34] He was talking 'bout me
[01:24.14] So I fell to my knees and said
[01:25.94] Shake me to wake me
[01:28.68] I've been living too long in this fantasy
[01:33.14] Shake me to wake me
[01:35.01] Got to strip this man of mediocrity
[01:39.57] Sometimes, when my heart is proud
[01:54.82] I get full of myself
[01:58.52] Self-righteousness will bring you down
[02:01.24] I ain't better than nobody else
[02:04.86] Other times, I drink the wine of complacency
[02:11.17] I get comfortable, lackadaisical, so cynical
[02:15.70] So I call to my Lord and say
[02:19.28] Shake me to wake me
[02:22.02] I've been living too long within this fantasy
[02:25.62] Shake me to wake me
[02:28.38] You've got to strip this man of mediocrity
[02:53.68] You were born in a religious town
[02:58.10] That had a very good name
[03:00.80] You were wearing your faith around
[03:04.46] Like a ball and chain
[03:09.03] You've been living so carefully
[03:11.76] Trying to keep the image clean
[03:15.32] But Jesus is talking 'bout Pharisees
[03:18.05] About you and me
[03:19.85] You better fall to your knees and say
[03:21.68] Shake me to wake me,
[03:24.37] I've been living too long within this fantasy
[03:27.96] Shake me to wake me
[03:30.67] You've got to strip this man of mediocrity
[03:35.26] Shake me to wake me
[03:37.92] I've been living too long within this fantasy
[03:41.51] Shake me to wake me
[03:45.15] I been sleeping too long, put some fire in me
[03:53.24] Put some fire in me
[03:57.88] Oh, you got to shake me
[04:06.85] Oh, you got to wake me, Lord
[04:10.49] Lost in a fantasy
[04:16.73]
