    Whoa, sleeping the night away
    Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day
    We're under the spell of disunity
    When will this giant awake and stand and be free
    Now the hour has come
    To awaken and redeem the time given to the night
    Curse this darkness and stand in the light
    (Coro)
    Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall
    The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
    Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall
    The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
    The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call
    Whoa, been sleeping so long, yeah
    How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong?
    The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial
    Each time we sleep through an inch we're losing a mile
    We will get this rude awakening to reality
    And arise in unity
    It's been dark for so long night is almost gone
    Always darkest before the dawn
    Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring
    Do you feel it?
    ___________________________________
    "Gigante Dormido"
    Oh, toda la noche durmiendo,
    mientras la oscuridad encierra al mundo
    desesperado porque llegue el día.
    Estamos bajo el hechizo de la desunión.
    ¿Cuando se despertara este gigante,
    se pondrá de pie y será libre?
    Ahora ha llegado el momento
    de despertarse y redimir el tiempo
    que fue entregado a la noche.
    De maldecir esta oscuridad y
    plantarse firme en la luz.
    (Coro)
    ¿Oyes el eco de la alarma en el corredor?
    El gigante dormido es llamado a despertar.
    Despiértate de tu sueño,
    porque es hora de estar de pie.
    El gigante dormido
    es llamado a despertar.
    El gigante dormido
    es llamado a despertar.
    Oh, tanto tiempo durmiendo...
    ¿Como podemos esperar discernir lo bueno y lo malo?
    Le tiramos el guante en la cara al rechazo.
    Cada vez que nos dormimos un centímetro,
    perdemos un kilómetro. Vamos a despertar de una vez a la realidad
    y a levantarnos en unidad.
    Ya hace tanto tiempo que esta oscuro... casi termino la noche.
    Siempre es mas oscuro antes del amanecer.
    La luz del sol aparecerá y traerá un nuevo día.
    ¿Lo sientes?

    One of my favorite songs ever, Christian or secular. These lyrics ring so true. We as Christians are so prone to falling asleep and becoming complacent, and it always takes a divine kick in the nuts to rattle our cages and bring us back to consciousness

      I have to agree. Bob knew just what to say through Petra's music, and he knew when to say it! Petra wasn't always about just love. They were about all of the Holy Bible. All of it!!!

    This song talks about the Church asleep in its apathy getting a wake up call. I really liked it because years before, my cousin who is a amateur song writer wrote something of a wake up call song, but it never was published. It was geared toward evangelism. He titled it "Urgent"

    To all the interpreters, the album came out in '93 and it was to the church in general according to Ronny Cates himself. It's not about the USA or anything political. Almost all Petra song titles are expressions and cliches, like "Sleeping Giant." One of my favorite riffs to play on guitar any day!!!

    The line "the sleeping giant gets a wake up call" just resonates and gives me chills. If the church, the Body of Christ, comes awake to the enormous power we have been entrusted through His Name, we could shake continents, move mountains, change the world.

    Petra - Rock Revelation Lyrics
    Whoa, sleeping the night away.
    Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day. We’re under the spell of dis-unity. When will this giant awake and stand and be free.
    Now the hour has come to awaken and redeem the time given to the night. Curse this darkness and stand in the light.
    Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call. Awake from your sleep ‘cause it’s time to stand tall. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call.
    It’s an age-old score that’s got to be settled. It’s an age-old debt that’s got to be paid. When the King breaks through in all of His glory. To claim His throne and the world that He made.
    The nations wait with their armies gathered. With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs. There will be no peace in Armageddon Valley. ‘Til the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes.
    When He arrives He will conquer them all. Take back the ground given after the fall.
    All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together…
    I’ve waited patiently for your reply. You say you’ll come around by and by. I’ve tried to show the way into the light. But I just won’t let you go without a fight.
    You think my hands are tied. But you will never hide, no. I’ve got you in my sight day and night.
    I’ve got a secret weapon. I’ll pray for you. I’ve got a secret weapon. Gonna get through. I really care about you. I’ll pray for you.
    The fearless giant faced a brave young shepherd boy. He said, “Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed.” But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero.
    Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold. They knew they could burn for not doing what they’re told. They’d rather face the fire than to kneel to a god made by hands.
    It takes a heart of a hero. To stand for what’s right. It takes a heart of a hero. To lay down your life.
    I was just a young man. With a burning fuse. Headed in the wrong way. ‘Til I heard the news. ‘Bout a substitution. Blood shed for me. ‘Bout a grace so amazing it can make a man free.
    Now I’m rescued, pulled from the mud. It’s all behind me, under the blood.
    Underneath the blood. Through the cleansing flood. Guilt is left behind. Never brought to mind. I’m an innocent man. Underneath the blood.
    I’ve been to the party and I left alone. And I’ve danced with a few that I’d be better off on my own.
    I’ve been to the altar and I know I kneeled. But I ended up dancing in the grass of another field.
    Then someone told me, I heard someone say.
    Dance with the one who brung ya. Dance with the one you know who got you there. Dance with the one who brung ya. Don’t change hats, you know it’s the one you wear.
    Time is a gift on loan. Fate’s already known.
    It’s your destiny to make it to the end. It’s your destiny to go against the trend. Heavenly destiny, whoa... Destiny. Destiny.
    It used to be a distant call. Thought to be for some but never all. Now our wounded lay on every side. Now this call to arms can’t be denied.
    The enemy will tremble. As young and old assemble. A mighty army up in arms.
    Armed and dangerous. God’s enemies will scatter. Armed and dangerous. We’ll see the darkness shatter.
    His armor is worth its weight. No weapon can penetrate. Armed and dangerous. We’re ready to storm the gate.
    The Earth is shaking. It’s like a bad dream. This world is crumbling. Coming apart at the seam. But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock.
    Everywhere I’m turning. It’s only bad news. This bomb is ticking. And we’re getting to the end of the fuse. But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock.
    Are you ready?
    I am on the Rock, the sure foundation. I am on the Rock, on the Rock. I am on the Rock, His revelation. I am on the Rock.
    Though the winds may blow. And though the floods may grow. I shall not be moved, cause I am on the Rock.
    When the lion lays down with the lamb. There’ll be peace in the land of Abraham. They will beat their swords into plows. When every tongue declares and every knee bows.
    All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together again.
    All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together again.
