Some have died for it,
even lied for it,
but only a few take it seriously;
Some have searched for it,
and hurt for it,
but only a few ever see it achieved.
Some have prayed on it,
and laid on it,
but only a few realize its worth;
Some have cried for it,
and strived for it,
but only a few have changed the earth.
To the rest of them we say. . .Wake
Up!
Some have planned for it,
received a hand for it,
but only a few have held on til the end;
Some have reached for it,
even preached for it,
but only a few have not given in.
Some have raced to it,
given chase to it,
but only a few have paid the price;
Some have taken a stand for it,
made demands for it,
but only a few make the sacrifice.
Although God-given,
but human-driven,
to those who possess it, we wish good luck;
But understand,
that in God’s plan,
to LIVE your dream, you must first WAKE UP!
