Wake Up Sleeper Lyrics

Rejoice all you who are poor
The kingdom is yours
The kingdom is yours
Rejoice you jaded and torn
Both sinner and saint
The kingdom is yours

Woe to you religious teachers
Rich and worshiping your book
Woe to you who use His name
to justify the souls you took

[CHORUS] Wake up, wake up
Oh sleeper from the dead
Wake up

Rejoice you lonely and lost
You sick and despised
All will be made right
Rejoice, you cynics and freaks
Those searching for peace
All will be made right

Even you religious teachers
separating us from them
Heaven’s found inside us all
So turn and come alive again
[CHORUS]

Awaken us, awaken us
Open our eyes and wake us
(x2)
Let your church now wake up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Great song and meaning of song is clear an open and contradicting in which the whole song might evolve around religion or not, but the best contradiction in the song is "book" which may stand for Bible- religion, God, enlightment through faith or the other way, knowledge, reasoning, enlightment through knowledge...The whole song tries to bring unity without religion? This might seem to me but, hey, who knows...
