Leeland's song 'The Great Awakening' is a stirring call for spiritual revival, emphasizing how individual awakenings can spread and multiply to transform entire communities. The lyrics use the metaphor of waking from sleep to describe a collective turning toward God, suggesting that one person's faith can inspire others until a whole town is roused. The song carries a hopeful, urgent tone, encouraging believers to be catalysts for change. It reflects a biblical theme of revival and the power of communal faith, without directly quoting scripture.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
One man wakes, awakens another
Second one wakes his next door brother
Three awake can rouse a town
And turn the whole place upside down
Many awake will cause such a fuss
It finally awakes all of us
One man wakes with dawn in his eyes
Surely then it multiplies
Surely then it multiplies
