Wake Up from Your Slumber!

The following is an excerpt from one of my favorite songs, Slumber, by Needtobreathe.  If the lyrics don’t encourage you to think about your life and what you’re doing to live it to the fullest, I don’t know what will.  Let it be the motivation you need to get up, get going and achieve your goals.  Yes, you really can!

Days

they force you back under those covers.

Lazy mornings; they multiply,

glory’s waiting outside your windows.

Wake on up from your slumber, baby open up your eyes.

Tongues are violent, personal and focused,

tough to be with your steady mind.

Hearts are stronger after broken.

Wake on up from your slumber, baby open up your eyes.

All these victims stand in line for,

crumbs that fall from the table, just enough to get by.

All that while your invitation.

Wake on up from your slumber, baby open up your eyes.

Take from vandals all you want now,

please don’t trade it in for life.

Wake on up from your slumber, baby open up your eyes.

Sing like you want to.

dance like you used to.

Come on darlin’ open up your eyes…
