Wake up my soul from your American Dream You've been asleep and dying slowly A house, a job, some friends, your own family False security; you don't own the breath you breathe Oooo, oooo That money in your wallet can't buy you time Another life, but you can save it all you like You don't see what you have, just what you have to get Material success; the pursuit of happiness Oooo, oooo Racing down the highway I am sobered by the truth To live is Christ, but somehow I've completely missed that view God, to be poor, to suffer, or to die is what I'd choose If I get more of you Mmmm, mmmm But my soul if you're just fine, don't listen to me Go back to sleep, keep living the dream
