Sleeping Jesus

Neal Morse

But during that time 
 Of darkness and doubt 
 I began to search for something 
 Looked up and down 
 But I barely knew the difference 
 Between the sky and the ground 

 Sleeping Jesus 
 Awaken in the man 
 Send your spirit 
 Touch him with your hand 
 He can't feel you 
 He cannot see the sky 
 Sleeping Jesus 
 Awaken in his mind 

 The veil of tears 
 Was wearing quite thin 
 The weight of wasted years 
 Left no way to win 
 But I began to feel his guidance 
 While I was deep in my sin 

 Sleeping Jesus 
 Awaken in the man 
 Send your spirit 
 Touch him with your hand 
 He can't feel you 
 He cannot reason why 
 Sleeping Jesus 
 He's reaching for the sky 

 Sleeping Jesus 
 Awaken in the man 
 Send your spirit 
 And touch him with your hand 
 He can't feel you 
 He cannot see the sky 
 Sleeping Jesus 
 Awaken in his mind
