The trumpet sounds like a worldwide alarm clock The dead rise, this might come as a shock The day the grave will be unlocked I've seen so many turn away, the one's had no doubt If you've been around, you know what I'm talking about On fire but now their burning out Don't they know that this is a long road The race we run's a marathon
And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay Life ends and I don't mind, Just wake me up on time Just wake me up on time
Do you ever think about what you'll become? The reason why it's not a game but a race we run Who reigns are those who overcome You don't have to finish first, just stay on track Turn not right or left but straight up the path There are those who run that will turn back When Jesus goes, are you gonna follow? Even when you feel you can't go on
And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay Life ends and I don't mind, Just wake me up on time And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay And I don't care as long, as I can finish strong Just wake me up on time, Just wake me up on time
Don't they know that this is a long road The race we run's a marathon And all I want to say is I'm not here to stay Life ends and I don't mind, Just wake me up on time And all I want to say is I'm not here to stay And I don't care as long, as I can finish strong Just wake me up on time, Just wake me up on time
