Song Lyrics

Lazy summer afternoon
Screened-in porch and nothin' to do
I just kicked off
My tennis shoes

Slouchin' in a plastic chair
Rakin' my fingers through my hair
I close my eyes and I leave 'em there
And I yawn and sigh and slowly fade away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant
Colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion
People for a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace
Do I ever have to wake up?

Awakened by a familiar sound
A clumsy fly is buzzin' around
He bumps the screen
And he tumbles down

He gathers about his wits and pride
And tries again for the hundredth time
'Cause freedom calls from the other side
And I smile and nod and slowly drift away

Deep enough to dream in brilliant
Colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion
People for a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace
Do I ever have to wake up?

'Cause peace is pouring over my soul
See the lambs and the lions playin'
I join in and I drink the music
Holiness is the air I'm breathin'

My faithful heroes break the bread
And answer all of my questions
Not to mention what the streets are made of
My heart's held hostage by this love

Deep enough to dream in brilliant
Colors I have never seen
Deep enough to join a billion
People for a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch
The face of the One who made me
And oh, the love I feel and oh, the peace
Do I ever have to wake up?

Do I ever have to wake up?
Do I ever have to wake up?
Do I really have to wake up now?
