Nothin' Lyrics - Chris Rice

Lazy summer afternoon 

Screened in porch and nothin' to do 

I just kicked off my tennis shoes 

Slouchin' in a plastic chair 

Rakin' my fingers through my hair 

I close my eyes and I leave them there 

And I yawn, and sigh, and slowly fade away 

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors 

I have never seen 

Deep enough to join a billion people 

For a wedding feast 

Deep enough to reach out and touch 

The face of the One who made me 

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace 

Do I ever have to wake up 

Awakened by a familiar sound 

A clumsy fly is buzzin' around 

He bumps the screen and he tumbles down 

He gathers about his wits and pride 

And tries again for the hundredth time 

'Cause freedom calls from the other side 

And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away 

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors 

I have never seen 

Deep enough to join a billion people 

For a wedding feast 

Deep enough to reach out and touch 

The face of the One who made me 

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace 

Do I ever have to wake up 

'Cause peace is pouring over my soul 

See the lambs and the lions playin' 

I join in and I drink the music 

Holiness is the air I'm breathin' 

My faithful heroes break the bread 

And answer all of my questions 

Not to mention what the streets are made of 

My heart's held hostage by this love 

And these brilliant colors I have never seen 

I join a billion people for a wedding feast 

And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me 

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors I have never seen 

Deep enough to join a billion people for a wedding feast 

Deep enough to reach out and touch the face of the One who made me 

And oh, the love I feel, and oh the peace 

Do I ever have to wake up 

Do I ever have to wake up 

Do I really have to wake up now
