The story goes, the truth is no one knows
A stranger came, a man who lost his name
At night, he tells his tale, prison, women wail
They took him in, he let them win over and over
He said "if you don't have good words to say
Don't wake me up until the judgment day
'Cause if nothing is the way it seems
Then this life is just a haunted dream
And all this love is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep"
Wake me up on judgment day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
A man in tattered clothes, crying all he knows
The darkness grows, that's how it goes over and over
He said "I think of the beauty I've had
And all it does is make me feel so bad
First, they make you think you're riding high
Then, they toss you off in the sky
And all this life is just falling down through the years
And oh, I'd rather sleep"
Oooooh yeah
Wake me up on judgment day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
Oooh
Say a prayer for the stranger
Listen to the stranger
Wake me up on judgment day
Let me hear golden trumpets play
Give me life where nothing fails
Not a dream in a wishing well
Wake me up on judgment day
Let me hear golden trumpets play, yeah (oooh)
Give me life where nothing fails (oooh)
Not a dream in a wishing well
Well, oh, wake me up, wake me up
Let me hear, let me hear (oooh)
Give me life, give me life (oooh)
Not a dream in a wishing well
Wake me up on judgment day (wake up, wake up)
Let me hear golden trumpets play (gimme life)
Give me life where nothing fails (oooh)
Not a dream in a wishing well, whoa whoa
Wake me up on judgment day
Wake me up, gimme life
Give me life where nothing fails
Whoa, wake me up, oooh, oooh
Wake me up on judgment day
Gimme life, gimme life, gimme life, gimme life
Give me life where nothing fails (oooh)
Not a dream in a wishing well...
