7. God Speaks of Marty Robbins (3:26)
[Verse 1]
And when the world began
I'd been asleep forever
I opened one eye
Twas then it was I
Got the whim to wake
And when the weight of space
Rolled like it was an ocean
One became one
Father and son
Watched the sunrise break
[Pre-Chorus]
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
[Chorus]
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
[Verse 2]
I heard the heavens sing
Predicting Marty Robbins
I knew I'd find
Music and time
Were the perfect plan
I watched my son sail on
A little ship a-bobbing
I had to grow
I needed to know
Exactly who I am
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus][x2]
And when the world began
I'd been asleep forever
I opened one eye
Twas then it was I
Got the whim to wake
And when the weight of space
Rolled like it was an ocean
One became one
Father and son
Watched the sunrise break
[Pre-Chorus]
And as the ocean warmed
And from this dream we woke
One sang to greet the dawn
One pursed his lips and spoke
[Chorus]
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear the music play
Wake up and hear the music
Wake up and hear what the people say
[Verse 2]
I heard the heavens sing
Predicting Marty Robbins
I knew I'd find
Music and time
Were the perfect plan
I watched my son sail on
A little ship a-bobbing
I had to grow
I needed to know
Exactly who I am
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus][x2]
