Suppose you showed up Sunday
To sing songs to your Savior
And found the parking spaces
Filled with folks red faced in anger
With homemade signs opining
Your children must be saved
Cause your youth group leaders prey on them
And you feel afraid
Now the place you thought would still be safe
No longer feels like home
And you understand they don't believe
But why can't they just leave you alone?
Oh have I ever had that nightmare
Where my heart keeps breaking
But I can't wake
And it's taking all I've got not to fight them
I'm down on my knees, crying out
Please, Lord, release us
We've surveyed your rugged cross
Don't do us like Jesus
Suppose some senators decide
Your worship is obscene?
All-ages Sunday service
Suddenly's a felony
And you're not sure if it's safe to wear a cross
Or pause to pray
Do you teach your kids in secret?
Do you tell them to be brave?
Will you risk losing your children
To expose them to the faith?
Do you cry and pace in anger?
Do you plead Amazing Grace?
Oh have I ever had that nightmare
Where my heart keeps breaking
But I can't wake
And it's taking all I've got not to fight them
I'm down on my knees, crying out
Please, Lord, release us
We've surveyed your rugged cross
Don't do us like Jesus
There's gotta be a way where we can all be free
I promise not to tread on you
If you don't tread on me
Can you wake me from this nightmare?
Can you wake me from this
Wake me from this
Nightmare?
