Lazarus (Don't Wake Me Up)
" You are the salt of the earth..."
Story behind the song
I was in a skit at Hume Lake in which Lazarus, the guy in the Bible story called back from the dead by Jesus, decided to remain in his tomb. The follishness was comedic, but the idea is quite poignant when applied to our own life and the call that Christ has for us. What happens if we just choose to stay where we are? Nothing. That's the trouble....
Lyrics
I've been blind
So unkind
Living in fiction
Living a lie
It's been cold
Bury my soul
I played my cards, played what you dealt me
But I had to fold
Don't wake me up i've had enough of living this life down on my luck I'd rather be dreaming of living in love
So don't wake me up
I've been resting my bones so long, all of my time is gone
Here in the dark daylight is fading away, dragging on
It's all foolishness and filthy rags to listen to your voice that can bring me back to life
I have seen you operate i'll stay right where I am and just watch me come undone
