“Daughters, Don’t Sleep” 🕊️ By Sheryl Clyde / Thunderbird

[Verse 1 – The Mirror Lies] You thought he was safe ’Cause he wore the right cross He prayed before dinner But counted your cost He smiled in the pews But his fists knew your skin Now the wolves dress in linen And call silence a win [Verse 2 – The Garden Shakes] Eve wasn’t weak She was hunted and fooled Now her daughters are blamed While the tempters make rules He said he would lead But he chained every gate He said you were precious— Then sold you to hate [Chorus – Daughters, Don’t Sleep] Daughters, don’t sleep while the lions draw near The storm is awake, and it smells your fear Tie up your hair, let your war cry begin Cover your children — don’t let them in They call it revival, but it reeks of control They quote the whole Bible — and forfeit their soul Daughters, rise up — don’t bow at their feet The Groom is still coming But wolves guard the street [Verse 3 – Wake the Weary] Your silence was bought By a gospel of shame He said God made you lesser— But forgot Her name He said ‘submit’ But forgot to lay down So Christ left the building And wrote on your crown: [Bridge – What the Fire Will Burn] “This one is Mine — she still walks through the flame Though nations forget her, I call her by name I never asked her to bow to abuse She’s clothed in My honor Not man’s twisted truth” [Final Chorus – Daughters, Awake] Daughters, don’t sleep while the trumpets are near The Bridegroom is calling — do you not hear? Shake off your chains, let your song be a sword Take up your place beside Christ the Lord Not behind — not beneath — but beside in the fight He’s not coming for puppets But Brides clothed in light [Outro – Soft Warning] If you stay asleep… they’ll take all you own But if you rise now… you won’t rise alone.
