Lyrics
Whoa, sleepin' the night away
Expressing astonishment or emphasis at the act of sleeping through the night.
Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day
Describing a world shrouded in darkness and eagerly longing for daylight.
We're under the spell of dis-unity ooh ho
Acknowledging the influence of disunity or division.
When will this giant awake and stand and be free
Prompting the sleeping giant to awaken, stand, and embrace freedom.
Now the hour has come
Signaling the arrival of a crucial moment.
To awaken and redeem the time given to the night
Encouraging the giant to seize the opportunity and make good use of the time previously lost to the night.
Curse this darkness and stand in the light
Expressing a desire to break free from darkness and embrace the light.
Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall?
Asking if one can perceive the warning signal echoing through the passage.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Highlighting the awakening of the sleeping giant through an alarm.
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall
Urging the giant to rise from slumber and stand tall.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Reiteration of the giant receiving a wake-up call.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Repetition of the wake-up call theme for emphasis.
(Hey hey hey)
Exclamation or emphasis (Hey hey hey).
Whoa, been sleeping so long, yea
Expressing the duration of a deep sleep.
How can we hope to discern the right from the wrong?
Pondering the difficulty of distinguishing right from wrong after a prolonged slumber.
The gauntlet is thrown in the face of denial ooh ha
Challenging denial and acknowledging the confrontational nature of reality.
Each time we sleep through an inch we're losing a mile
Highlighting the cumulative loss during each instance of neglect.
We will get this rude awakening to reality
Anticipating a harsh awakening to the truth.
And arise in unity
Aspiring to unite and rise together.
Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall?
Reiterating the echoing alarm and the giant's wake-up call.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Encouraging the giant to emerge from slumber and stand tall.
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall
Repetition of the giant's wake-up call for emphasis.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Reiteration of the giant's wake-up call theme.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Repetition of the giant's wake-up call for emphasis.

It's been dark for so long night is almost gone
Describing the prolonged darkness and hinting at its imminent end.
(Always darkest before the dawn)
Emphasizing that the darkest moment precedes the dawn.
Sunlight soon appearing, a new day it will bring
Anticipating the arrival of sunlight and a new day.
(Do you feel it?)
Prompting self-reflection on whether one can sense the impending change.
Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall?
Reiterating the echoing alarm and the giant's wake-up call.
(The sleeping giant gets a wake up call)
Encouraging the giant to arise from slumber and stand tall.
Awake from your sleep 'cause it's time to stand tall
