[Verse 1] They taught us all the names to call Before we knew our neighbors’ name We watched the world through little screens And fed the fire with borrowed flames Now somebody has crossed the street And found a heart beneath the blame [Verse 2] They sold us freedom with a script And told us which words we could say They made a living off our rage And built their kingdoms out of fear Now the hands that held the banners Are pulling someone near [Chorus] From woke to woke up See the daylight breaking through We were told what we should think Now we’re asking what is true There’s a prayer where there was silence There’s a road back home for us There’s a hunger for the living God And the world is waking up [Verse 3] A father’s sitting with his son A daughter’s putting down her phone They’re talking past the party lines They’re thinking on their own And nobody has to win tonight To find the road back home [Chorus] From woke to woke up See the daylight breaking through We were told what we should think Now we’re asking what is true There’s a prayer where there was silence There’s a road back home for us There’s a hunger for the living God And the world is waking up [Verse 4] There’s a Bible on the table Where the headlines used to lie There’s a man who hasn’t prayed in years With his hands toward the sky And the Christ we thought we’d outgrown Still hears the smallest cry [Bridge] Wake us from the lies we love Wake us from our righteous rage Let the truth cut both directions Let Your mercy lead the way [Final Chorus] From woke to woke up See the daylight breaking through We were told what we should think Now we’re asking what is true There’s a prayer where there was silence There’s a road back home for us There’s a hunger for the living God And the world is waking up [Outro] One heart, one home, one open door Till the dark can’t hold us anymore From woke to woke up The world is waking up
