Where have I been all my life?
What have I done with my time?
What ever happened to me?
How long have I been asleep?
Wake, wake me up, wake me up,
Wake me up inside.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please just wake me up
I wanna rise from the dead
And feel this heart beat again
Don't wanna waste one more day
Lord do whatever it takes
To wake, wake me up, wake me up,
Wake me up inside.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please just wake me up
Let Your love, let Your love
Open up my eyes.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please just wake me up
I can hear You calling out my name
I will rise, I will rise and be remade
Oh and I will never be the same
I will rise, I will rise and be remade
Wake, wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up inside.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please, God please
Wake, wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up inside.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please just wake me up
Let Your love, let Your love
Open up my eyes.
Light up my heart with a spark
From Your burning light.
God please just wake me up
I can hear You calling out my name
I will rise, I will rise and be remade
Oh and I will never be the same
I will rise, I will rise and be remade
Where have I been all my life?
