RIP VAN WINKLE GONNA SLEEP FOREVER  GONNA SLEEP HIS LIFE AWAY  RIP VAN WINKLE DON'T KNOW THE SAVIOR  GONNA SLEEP THROUGH JUDGMENT DAY    Open up your eyes, wake up and smell the napalm  The sky is filled with smoke and you're covered up in ash  The dead are all around you and the saints have gone to Glory  But you fell asleep and now you're all alone    You wander through the rubble looking for a sign of life  You're hoping that just maybe you will run across your wife  Your children or your neighbors, but they're either dead or gone  Then you come across some pages that are scattered 'cross the lawn  You start to read one of them thinking maybe it's a clue  But it's just from a Bible that had once belonged to you  One time you'd been a Christian, or maybe so you thought  But later in your life you decided you were not  You were nice to your neighbor, you were good to your wife  But a God you could not see or hear was sure not worth your life  You thought He was a legend, Jesus Christ was just a fake  But now you look around and wonder why you weren't awake    REPEAT CHORUS    So many people think that Jesus Christ is make-believe  They only trust the things that they can touch or hear or see  But just because you don't believe don't mean that it's not there  And when your life and soul's at stake, you'd better just beware  So if you're Rip Van Winkle, thinking that you've got it made  Just give your heart to Jesus and WAKE UP!!! before it's too late    REPEAT CHORUS
