Revenge of the O.C.<br> Supertones Lyrics

Wake Me Up On Time

The trumpet sounds like a worldwide alarm clock.
The dead rise, this might come as a shock,
The day the grave will be unlocked.
I've seen so many turn away, the one's had no doubt.
If you've been around, you know what I'm talking about.
On fire but now they’re burning out.
Don't they know that this is a long road.
The race we run's a marathon.

And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay.
Life ends and I don't mind,
Just wake me up on time.
Just wake me up on time.

Do you ever think about what you'll become?
The reason why it's not a game but a race we run.
Who reigns are those who overcome.
You don't have to finish first, just stay on track.
Turn not right or left but straight up the path.
There are those who run that will turn back.
When Jesus goes, are you gonna follow
Even when you feel you can't go on?

And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay.
Life ends and I don't mind, Just wake me up on time.
And all I want to say, is I'm not here to stay.
And I don't care as long, as I can finish strong.
Just wake me up on time,
Just wake me up on time.
Don't they know that this is a long road.
The race we run's a marathon.
And all I want to say is I'm not here to stay.
Life ends and I don't mind,
Just wake me up on time.
And all I want to say is I'm not here to stay.
And I don't care as long, as I can finish strong.
Just wake me up on time,
Just wake me up on time.

Where I Find You

Well I messed up, feel like I can't even lift my eyes up
Covering this stain that I'm ashamed of, the way I take advantage of your love
And I'm terrified, stand before your throne with blood on my hands
I realize it's only by your blood that I can.

I knew that is where I'd find you
I don't have to remind you of all the times I've failed you
I knew that is where I'd find you
So this is where I've come to, there's nothing else I can do.

I'm confessing I'm up to my ears in transgression
Is this the way I thank you for a blessing?
I know it's hard to tell but I'm am trying.

So here I am with nothing to say for myself
Once again, to plead the blood and nothing else.

I knew that is where I'd find you
I don't have to remind you of all the times I've failed you
I knew that is where I'd find you
So this is where I've come to, there's nothing else I can do.

So here I am with nothing to say for myself
Once again, to plead the blood and nothing else.

I knew that is where I'd find you
I don't have to remind you of all the times I've failed you
I knew that is where I'd find you
So this is where I've come to, there's nothing else I can do.

We Shall Overcome

I've been holding back my rhyme to long,
let it go and unleash the fury of my old school flow.
I'm no superstar more like a John Doe.
But I'm badder then the water down in Mexico.
Oh no, a rock ‘n’ roller man who's not allowed to be rap.
But I write what I like and I like the boom bap.
The rhyme's in the front and the beat's in the back a trunk full of funk and a page full of fact.

Right about now I’d like to hear everyone say.
YES O YES we shall overcome.
My fans got a job,
are we gonna get it done?
YES O YES we shall overcome.

I can't be shy I've gotta come with it.
No fear here! I sing and bring it.
In Christ you've got no right livin' timid.
He's light in the dark and hope for the wicked.
There's a land of the dead called planet earth
and a race called man walks dead from birth
and the beast and man both bear the curse,
Come from the womb but return to dirt.

Right about now I’d like to hear everyone say.
YES O YES we shall overcome.
My fans got a job, are we gonna get it done?
YES O YES we shall overcome.

Here's what I do, I hope I get through.
So cling to what's true and tell the world too.
Cause some live in fear, oppression from peers.
These kids smoke weed, these kids that drink beers
who don't want to hear what you got to say
and they shut their ears and laugh cause you pray,
but don't be afraid, that used to be me, I used to mock God
but I was empty.

Right about now I’d like to hear everyone say.
YES O YES we shall overcome.
My fans got a job, are we gonna get it done?
YES O YES we shall overcome.

Transmission

I was listenin' in to your transmission (I hear it every night, hear it every night)
I think there was a problem with my reception (on my satellite, on my satellite).
It seemed like a section of my soul was having trouble with the signal.
I was trying but it just wasn't pickin' up
I guess the frequency was stuck
And my heart corroded shut.
I couldn't tune in to the station that was telecasting my salvation.

But I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in.
Yeah it's coming in!

In a room full of doubters You were the sure one. (You were like a light, You were like a light)
In a town of compromises, You are the pure one. (I think You got it right, I think You got it right).
It was water to my soul to hear You singing so honest and simple.
I seek to be sophisticated,
But I make it complicated
I over-elaborated, but now that I have contemplated
I'll write about the love of Jesus and his mercy that never ceases.

And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in.
Yeah it's coming in!

It was foolish to be jaded that the cross was integrated
I remember Jesus said you either love it or you hate it.
I didn't know the words in my heart I was singing with You.

And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I couldn't find it then.
And I wanna hear it now
And sing along again
I just don't know how
I lost that frequency but now it's coming in.

Prince of Peace

Does the world ever seem like a nightmare
Some suffer but the other ones don’t care
What does it matter if it’s going on elsewhere
Like it doesn’t happen if it's not happening here
There’s a girl with only a mother and her dad just won't seem to bother
No love so she finds a lover
Now she has a child who doesn’t have a father.

Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O Yeah I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes.

When the Communists turn into the terrorists
But the axis came before the Soviets
And before that came the Confederates
We’ll always have a war to fight
You can count on this.

With every cure there comes another sickness
The earth dies with every bit of progress
We've gone deaf to the cries of oppressed
What we need is Jesus to redeem us.

Now the world doesn’t work cause we’ve broken it
And we need dope or Prozac just to cope with it
Now the beast speaks its peace the Congress
Plans to Propagate
Proposition 666
Hitler’s still alive in the knives of abortionists
And the news twist the truth like contortionists
And they wonder what happened to humanity
You say peace but we’re headed for calamity.

Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O I hope the Prince of peace is coming soon
Whoa O O We'll learn to make a plowshare from a gun
Cause we won't need them when the kingdom comes
We long for the day when we will see the heavens and the earth as they should be.

The Shepherd is the Lamb

So what becomes of those small, unwanted souls
Who spend their lives breaking their backs?
Those who dig the gold for the rich and powerful
Who place their feet upon their necks?

The Shepherd is the Lamb
Do you understand
That God became a man?
The Shepherd is the Lamb

Where can the junkies go when high has laid them low?
Are they truly on their own?
It seems we've lost our way
Like sheep we have gone astray
Can anybody lead us home?

The Shepherd is the Lamb
Do you understand
That God became a man?
The Shepherd is the Lamb.

Who is the champion?
The friend of the suffering?
Of those who were never born?
The King with the crown of thorns.

And I'll consecrate a verse
To the kingdom in reverse
Where the least are most
And the last will be the first.

The Shepherd is the Lamb
Do you understand
That God became a man?
The Shepherd is the Lamb.

Everything's Broken

When my heart is aching
It’s the right time, it’s the right time
And my soul is reaching
It’s the right, it’s the right
Time to dive deep to understand
There is an Adam in every man
This was my garden and I made it die
It’s asking me why.

But I see tears in all things, everything is broken
I hear them crying, everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn’t have to be spoken
But now everything’s broken.

This is my confession
It’s about time it’s about time
Of the world’s condition
It’s about time, it’s about
Time that you see my glory and shame
This world fell through me
But out of flames will rise a new earth
From death will come birth
A cure to the curse.

But I see tears in all things, everything is broken
I hear them crying, everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn’t have to be spoken
But now everything’s broken.

I live in frustration
And it is mine and it is mine
Watch my garden dying
And it is mine and it is
I gave it death and I brought it hell
And there grew a cross to mark where I fell
A day will come when Adam again will pay for my sins.

But I see tears in all things, everything is broken
I hear them crying, everything is broken
There was a time when the truth didn’t have to be spoken
But now everything’s broken.

The Kingdom

I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is on the way, on the way
I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is here today, here today.

I think I found it,
An inspiration
I can see a glorious nation.

It's over there just above Zion
And it looks like Jerusalem
It's on the way, the date is set
It's here today, but not here yet
Can almost hear, can almost see
It's a banner caught upon the breeze.
Upon it is a Lion.

I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is on the way, on the way
I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is here today, here today
Christ reigns now and don't forget that the kingdom is not yet!

It's getting closer
To fulfillment
But the kingdom began with the advent
He is reigning through his people
The first will be nothing compared to the sequel.

No more war, no more crime, no more unemployment line!
And there is Christ upon His seat
Where mercy, truth and justice meet
And He will never falter.

And with one voice, we all will sing
(Yeah yeah yeah)
To the Prince of Peace and King of Kings
(Yeah yeah yeah)
His reign is everlasting
(Yeah yeah yeah).

I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is on the way, on the way
I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is here today, here today.

I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is on the way, on the way
I tell you the truth when I say that the kingdom is here today, here today,
Here today.

Faith of a Child

Can you count all the things that I'm worried about
By the lines in my brow, I want to trust but don't know how
To rest and be still, to abandon myself to your will
And I can't figure out what my time in this world is about,

And this time I don't have an answer
But don't think that I haven't tried
I still have the heart of a seeker
But I need the faith of a child
I need the faith of a child.

I know Christ waits for me on the other side
of this life, but I, I wanna know why I'm alive
Cause I wander from the path so far
Would it be easier, easier to be where you are?

And this time I don't have an answer
But don't think that I haven't tried
I still have the heart of a seeker
But I need the faith of a child
I need the faith of a child.

I wanna know what the truth is
and I don't care if it’s costly
I know there must be a reason
even if it cannot be known by me.

And this time I don't have an answer
But don't think that I haven't tried
I still have the heart of a seeker
But I need the faith of a child
I need the faith of a child.

Cult of Cool

It's just another lie to sell to me
But I'm not buying
To live the way they do on MTV
Yeah you're trying

Just a little too hard and we can see through
There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you
What you should like and what you should do
Will you fall in with the world or will you say

We won't pay for a lie!
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!

We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool.

To them you're just a number on a page
A target market
Try it out on someone your age
And hope you buy it.

You're trying too hard and we can see through
There's a guy in a suit and he's trying to tell you
What you should like and what you should do
Will you fall in with the world or will you say

We won't pay for a lie!
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!

We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool.

There is a decision to be made
Will you conform?
That is how the companies get paid
Or are you transformed?

You pay somebody to poison your mind
Will you be a target marker or will you be a gold mine?
There's a brainwash store and they're waiting in line
Will you fall in with the world or will you say

We won't pay for a lie
Get away right away!
I want Christ, Christ alone!
Christ to call me His own!
We won't play by your rules!
Here is one you won't fool!
I think it's dumb
I won't succumb to the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool,
To the cult of cool.

I Will Follow

Back in junior high, well, I was a bit wild
Pretty safe to say that I was a troubled child
Didn't go to juvie but they had me on file
Drinking like a man, but thinking like a child.

You wouldn't want to know me, man I was a hooligan
It was the only crowd who would ever take me in
Cared about nothing - that's the loser's way to win
I hit the ninth grade and something happened then.

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa-oa-oa)
There are those who give their lives.

Lord I'll follow if I have to leave all that I know
You go, I'll go and I know that I don't go alone
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
I will follow.

I came to know my God first year of high school
Not a smart move if you're trying to be cool
They knew me as a druggie who wouldn't follow rules
My friends didn't get it and they thought I was a fool.

They called me self-righteous 'cause I wouldn't smoke pot
And now I didn't wanna split a bottle of Schnapps
Plus I didn't wanna go running from the cops
And that's how I lost all the friends I got.

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa-oa-oa)
There are those who give their lives

So everyone I knew just thought I was a freak
I wasn't hard to tell that they didn't want to speak
I used to be cool, but now I was a geek
Like drugs are for the strong and God is for the weak.

Everything I have, well, I gave it to the cross
I count it as trash, I don't hesitate to toss
What I held dear was a burden to be lost
To get to the gold you've got to burn up the dross.

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa-oa-oa)
There are those who give their lives.

Dream of Two Cities

I had a dream last night
I was a bird in flight
A burning city on my left
And a golden one on my right.

There was a woman there
Tearing out her hair
In dust and ash she laid
The sins have been repaid.

Oh Babylon, the whole earth has drank the madness in your wine
Oh Babylon, but the day has come when you will pay for every crime.

And now it's time to take the wall!
'Cause Babylon must fall!
And raise it to the ground!
'Cause Judgment has come down!

But Jerusalem will stand,
A flood of justice flows across the land
And the earth take up the song
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!

Then in the golden town
I saw a throne and crown
To it world gathered 'round
The righteous bowing down.

And the streets, they rang
With the song they sang
Bring forth the Lamb who died
And now bring forth His bride.

Oh Jerusalem, your towers rising high in victory
Oh Jerusalem, from your gates, let peace and justice flow like rivers to the sea.

But now it's time to take the wall!
'Cause Babylon must fall!
And raise it to the ground!
'Cause Judgment has come down!

But Jerusalem will stand,
A flood of justice flows across the land
And the earth take up the song
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!

And now it's time to take the wall!
'Cause Babylon must fall!
And raise it to the ground!
'Cause Judgment has come down!

But Jerusalem will stand,
A flood of justice flows across the land
And the earth take up the song
When we bring down Babylon!
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!

When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
Whoa.
When we bring down Babylon!
