I once held a secret hand
And the women cried
Will you please hold us?
Then left
She once took a secret kiss
From the poor boys lips
As a last request
Awake! Wide awake!
Awake! Wide awake!
Holy special child
Could not even smile
Holy special child
Could not even smile
I once heard a tolling bell
And the women cried
Can you please save us?
Awake! Wide awake!
Awake! Wide awake!
He once wrote down holy words
In a golden book
That may save us all
Then left
Awake! Wide awake!
Awake! Wide awake!
I’m not aware of a live version as of yet – Let me know if you find one!
